Through Foxborough Power Forward, the Town has selected First Point Power as our electricity supplier (the company that puts electricity on the grid for us) and locked in long-term pricing for the electricity supply price on our bills. But National Grid remains Foxborough’s electric utility and continues to handle our billing, address power outages, and deliver our electricity with no interruption.
New accounts on National Grid’s Basic Service are eligible for automatic enrollment. (If you did not sign a private electricity supply contract, you have National Grid’s Basic Service.) The automatic enrollment process happens on a roughly quarterly basis throughout the year. All similar programs throughout the state use an automatic enrollment model, but you are free to opt out before being automatically enrolled. You will receive a notice in the mail from the Town of Foxborough in advance. See the most recent notice of automatic enrollment.
If you signed a private electricity supply contract, your account will not be eligible for automatic enrollment, but you can request enrollment online or by contacting customer support with our program consultants. (Restrictions apply for industrial accounts.) We recommend that you carefully check the terms and conditions of your supplier agreement. Your ability to terminate your agreement with your supplier may be restricted. Learn more.
If you are enrolled, Foxborough Power Forward will be integrated into your existing National Grid electric bill. Your supplier will appear as Foxborough Power Forward-First Point Power. But you will not see any additional charges on your bill or receive any additional electric bills because of participating in the program.
Maybe! Power Forward Standard is currently lower than National Grid’s residential and commercial prices. But Foxborough cannot guarantee that program prices will always be lower than National Grid because National Grid’s prices change seasonally, and we do not know their future prices.
National Grid will never knock on your door or call you to talk about your electric bill.
Only provide your National Grid account number if you are ready to change your electricity supplier.
