Renewable Energy Content Detail
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires that all electricity supply products include a minimum of 62% from renewable energy resources in 2024, 63% in 2025, and 69% in 2026. Sherborn Basic meets this minimum requirement. Sherborn Standard and Sherborn Select exceed it.
The Sherborn Standard and Sherborn Select options include the minimum amount of MA Class I RECs required by law each year plus additional amounts added by Sherborn. Sherborn’s electricity supplier must also purchase electricity from other clean or renewable sources to meet state requirements. As a result, the total renewable content for Sherborn Standard and Sherborn Select exceeds 100%.
