* The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires that all electricity supply products include a minimum of 62% from clean or renewable energy resources in 2024, 63% in 2025, and 69% in 2026. Direct Energy must purchase electricity from MA Class I renewable energy projects and from other sources such as trash-to-energy or nuclear. The Economy Green option meets the minimum requirement. The Standard Green and 100% Green Plus options exceed it by purchasing more electricity from MA Class I renewable energy projects.
