Beverly Community Electric benefits

Using the group buying power of our community, Beverly Community Electric provides Beverly residents and businesses with:

More electricity from renewable sources for less than National Grid

Beverly Community Electric automatically provides an additional 10% of your electricity from clean, renewable sources for a price that is lower than National Grid’s current residential price (though future savings can’t be guaranteed). To help stimulate the development of more clean electricity on our local grid, Beverly prioritizes buying from new renewable energy sources in the New England region.

 

Stable electricity prices

Beverly Community Electric offers long-term prices for the Electricity Supply part of your bill that are fixed until January 2026. In comparison, National Grid’s Basic Service prices change every 6 months or less, which exposes you to seasonal spikes in electricity prices. Participating in Beverly Community Electric will make your Electricity Supply price predictable and stable and will protect you from those seasonal price spikes.

 

Three electricity supply choices

Through Beverly Community Electric, you have three choices for the Electricity Supply part of your bill. You can automatically receive an additional 10% of your electricity from renewable sources, or you can choose to receive 100% of your electricity from renewable sources or just the minimum required by law.

 

Consumer protections

Beverly Community Electric has been designed with consumer protections. Chief among them, the program has no hidden fees, and you have the freedom to opt out of, or leave, the program at any time with no penalty. This feature makes the program different from many private electricity supply contracts, which may include minimum participation periods and early-termination fees.
