Program prices

Swampscott Community Power offers three options. As a new participant, you will be automatically enrolled in Standard Green, which provides 100% of your electricity from renewable sources.

The New England Green option is available by request and provides 100% of your electricity from renewable sources in the New England region.
The Basic option is also available by request and provides the lowest price in the program.

As a participant in Swampscott Community Power, 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 Swampscott Community Power. If you have National Grid’s Budget Billing, it continues to apply to your whole bill.

Swampscott Community Power prices are fixed until November 2027.

What happens in November 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.
