Welcome!

Sharon Power Choice is an electricity aggregation program, which is a type of group electricity purchasing program for Sharon residents and businesses from the Town of Sharon. Sharon Power Choice gives electricity customers in Sharon a Town alternative to their utility’s Basic Service and to other electricity supply offers in the marketplace, cleaner electricity, and long-term, stable electricity supply prices (though savings compared with utility Basic Service prices cannot be guaranteed).

Sharon electricity customers who have either Eversource’s or National Grid’s Basic Service will be automatically enrolled in Sharon Power Choice with their March 2021 meter read and will see the Sharon Power Price on their April 2021 electricity bill. The automatic enrollment model is the state law. If you will be automatically enrolled, you will receive a notification in the mail from the Town of Sharon in January. (Please note, if you receive a letter but you have placed an enrollment block on your electricity account, you will not be automatically enrolled.)

Participation is NOT required. You may opt out before being automatically enrolled or anytime after enrollment with no penalty or fee. If you will be automatically enrolled, you must opt out by February 8, 2021. You may opt out online or by contacting customer support with Sharon’s program consultants.

Three consumer-friendly electricity choices

Sharon Power Choice offers three new consumer-friendly electricity choices that give you greater control over the renewable energy content and price of your electricity supply. Sharon Power Choice Standard is the default program offering. It provides an additional 20% renewable electricity from New England, over and above the minimum amount required by state law, for a total of 38% clean, renewable electricity from New England (MA Class I RECs).

You also have two additional choices:

  • Sharon Power Choice Green, which provides 100% clean, renewable electricity from New England (100% MA Class I RECs).
  • Sharon Power Choice Basic, which provides only the minimum amount of renewable electricity required by state law.

Learn more about your options in the program.

Participate

 Participation in Sharon Power Choice is open to all metered electricity customers in Sharon. Customers who have either Eversource’s or National Grid’s Basic Service will be automatically enrolled with their March 2021 meter read, unless they choose to opt out. If you have placed an enrollment block on your account or you have already signed an electricity supply contract, you will not be automatically enrolled. Learn more about participating.

Compare the cost

 Compare program prices to Eversource’s and National Grid’s current 6-month Basic Service price. Or use the online calculator that will allow you to compare program prices with your utility’s most recent 12-month average and calculate the greenhouse gas impact of participating in the program.

How it works

 A municipal electricity aggregation is a group electricity purchasing program. Participating in Sharon Power Choice program will change your electricity supplier and the price your utility uses to calculate the supply portion of your electricity bill, but participating will not replace your electric utility. Learn more.

Savings cannot be guaranteed

Please note that, while Sharon Power Choice offers the potential for savings when compared with Eversource’s and National Grid’s Basic Service prices, there is no guarantee of savings. This is because the utility Basic Service prices change every 6 months for residential and small business/commercial customers and every 3 months for large business/industrial customers, and future Basic Service prices are unknown.

Protect your electricity account number

Eversource and National Grid will never knock on your door or call you to talk about your electricity bill.
Only provide your electricity account number if you are ready to change your electricity supplier.
