Welcome!

Westborough Power Choice is a Town electricity aggregation program that gives Westborough residents and businesses an alternative to National Grid’s Basic Service and other electricity supply offers in the marketplace. Through the program, electricity customers in Westborough receive cleaner electricity, long-term stable prices, consumer protections, and the potential for savings (though savings cannot be guaranteed).

Cleaner electricity and consumer-friendly choices

As a new participant in Westborough Power Choice, you will be automatically enrolled in the Standard plan and receive 38% of your electricity from clean, renewable sources, which is an additional 20% over the minimum amount of renewable electricity required by state law. You also have two additional choices: the 100% Green plan for 100% clean, renewable electricity, and the Budget plan for only the minimum amount of renewable electricity required by state law.

 

The amount of renewable electricity in the Standard plan will increase by 2% per year and reach a peak of 42% in 2023.

How it works

 A municipal electricity aggregation is a group electricity purchasing program. Participating in Westborough Power Choice will change your electricity supplier and the price National Grid uses to calculate the supplier services portion of your electricity bill, but participating will not replace National Grid as your electric utility.

Understand your bill

Westborough Power Choice makes only minor changes to the way your electricity bill looks. But when you know what those changes are, you can use your bill to confirm whether you are enrolled and which program option you are enrolled in. Learn how to find the program information on your National Grid bill.

Savings cannot be guaranteed

Please note that, while Westborough Power Choice offers the potential for savings when compared with National Grid’s Basic Service price, there is no guarantee of savings. This is because National Grid’s prices change every 6 months for residential and commercial customers and every 3 months for industrial customers, and future National Grid prices are unknown.

Protect your National Grid account number

National Grid will never knock on your door or call you to talk about your electricity bill.
Only provide your National Grid account number if you are ready to change your electricity supplier.
