Northborough Power Choice benefits

Using the group buying power of our community, Northborough Power Choice provides Northborough residents and businesses with:

Three electricity supply choices

Through Northborough Power Choice, you have three choices for the electricity supply part of your bill. You can automatically receive just the minimum amount of your electricity from renewable sources required by law, or you can choose to receive an additional 20% or 100% of your electricity from renewable sources.

 

Stable electricity prices

Northborough Power Choice will offer long-term prices for the electricity supply part of your bill that are fixed until May 2027. In comparison, National Grid’s prices change every 6 months or less, which exposes you to seasonal price spikes. Participating in Northborough Power Choice will make your electricity supply price predictable and stable and will protect you from seasonal spikes.

 

Potential for savings

Through Northborough Power Choice, your electricity supply price may be lower than National Grid’s Basic Service price. According to a report by UMass Amherst, the majority of communities with aggregation programs do see some savings compared with National Grid’s Basic Service price. However, Northborough Power Choice prices are long-term fixed prices, and National Grid’s prices change every 6 months or less. As a result, savings compared with National Grid can never be guaranteed. Price calculator.

 

Consumer protections

Northborough Power Choice 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.
