Swampscott Community Power benefits

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

More electricity from renewable sources 

Swampscott Community Power automatically provides 100% of your electricity from renewable sources. To help stimulate the development of more clean electricity on our local grid, Swampscott prioritizes buying from new renewable energy sources in the New England region.

 

Stable electricity prices

Swampscott Community Power offers long-term prices for the electricity supply part of your bill. The current prices will end in November, and the program will move to a new 36-month contract with prices that are fixed until November 2027. In comparison, National Grid’s prices change every 6 months or less, which exposes you to seasonal price spikes. Participating in Swampscott Community Power will make your electricity supply price predictable and stable and will protect you from seasonal spikes.

 

Three electricity supply choices

Through Swampscott Community Power, you have three choices for the electricity supply part of your bill. You automatically receive 100% of your electricity from a mix of renewable sources from within and outside of New England. You can also choose to receive 100% of your electricity from renewable sources within the New England region or to receive just the minimum from renewable sources required by law.

 

Consumer protections

Swampscott Community Power 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.
