Program prices

Northborough Power Choice offers three options. As a new participant, you will be automatically enrolled in Northborough Economy, which is the lowest-priced option in the program.

The Northborough Green option is available by request and provides an additional 20% of your electricity from renewable sources.
The Northborough Green Plus option is also available by request and provides 100% of your electricity from renewable sources.

As a participant in Northborough Power Choice, your electricity supplier will be First Point Power.

If you are eligible for a low-income discount or fuel assistance, you continue to receive that benefit as a participant in Northborough Power Choice. If you have National Grid’s Budget Billing, it continues to apply to your whole bill.

Northborough Power Choice prices are fixed until May 2027.

What happens in May 2027?

The Town intends to sign a new, long-term contract when the contract with First Point Power expires. The Town will announce the new prices before they take effect, and your account will be automatically enrolled into the new price for your program option unless you opt out or choose a different option.
