Needham Power Choice offers three options for the electricity supply part of your Eversource bill. As a new participant, you will be automatically enrolled in Needham Standard and receive an additional 15% of your electricity from renewable sources. Or you can choose Needham 100% Green to receive 100% of your electricity from renewable sources or Needham Basic to receive the lowest price in the program. Make the choice that is right for you!

Needham Power Choice offers long-term prices, while Eversource’s prices change seasonally. Use the price calculator to compare Needham Power Choice prices with Eversource’s average prices.
Through Needham Power Choice, the Town has selected Constellation NewEnergy as our electricity supplier (the company that puts electricity on the grid for us) and locked in long-term pricing for the electricity supply charge on our bills. But Eversource remains Needham’s electric utility and will continue to handle our billing, address power outages, and deliver our electricity with no interruption.
If you did not sign a private electricity supply contract, you have Eversource’s Basic Service. All accounts on Basic Service (except those with a customer-initiated block) will be eligible for automatic enrollment in March. You will receive a notification in the mail from the Town in advance. All similar programs throughout the state use an automatic enrollment model, but you are free to opt out before being automatically enrolled. See the notice of automatic enrollment.
If you signed a private electricity supply contract, your account will not be eligible for automatic enrollment in March, but you can request enrollment online or by contacting customer support with our program consultants. (Restrictions apply for large business 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 about participating.
If you are enrolled, Needham Power Choice will be integrated into your existing Eversource electric bill.
Your supplier will appear as Constellation-Needham Power Choice.
You will not see any additional charges on your bill or receive any additional electric bills because of participating in the program.
Maybe! Two Needham Power Choice prices are currently lower than Eversource’s residential and small business prices. But Needham cannot guarantee that program prices will always be lower than Eversource because Eversource’s prices change seasonally, and we do not know their future prices.
Eversource will never knock on your door or call you to talk about your electric bill.
Only provide your Eversource account number if you are ready to change your electricity supplier.
