* 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. Newton’s Basic option meets the minimum requirement. Newton Standard and Newton 100% Green exceed it by purchasing more electricity from MA Class I renewable energy projects.
