  • 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.

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.

An electricity supplier selected by Sharon buys electricity for you. Your electric utility continues to deliver your electricity.

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.
