Your options

Walpole Power Choice offers two program options:

  • As a new participant, you will be automatically enrolled in Power Choice Standard. You will receive the minimum amount of electricity from renewable sources required by state law. (Examples of renewable energy sources include the sun and the wind.)
  • If you want to receive all of your electricity from renewable sources, and you are willing to pay a bit more for it, you can choose the Power Choice Green option instead.

If you don’t want to participate at all you may opt out at any time with no fee or penalty.

Electricity supplier: If you participate in Walpole Power Choice, you will see Dynegy listed on your Eversource electricity bill as your electricity supplier. See an example Eversource bill.

Electricity mix: The program’s electricity supplier is required to provide an energy mix disclosure label that offers details about all of the sources of electricity provided. Visit the Resources page to download the most recent label.
