Chelmsford Choice benefits

Using the group buying power of our community, Chelmsford Choice provides Chelmsford residents and businesses with:

Three consumer-friendly electricity supply choices

Through Chelmsford Choice, you have three choices for the electricity supply part of your bill. You automatically receive an additional 20% of your electricity from renewable sources. You can also choose to receive 100% of your electricity from renewable sources or to receive just the minimum from renewable sources required by law.

 

More electricity from renewable sources automatically

Chelmsford Choice automatically provides an additional 20% of your electricity from renewable sources. You also have the option to buy 100% of your electricity from renewable sources. To help stimulate the development of more clean electricity on our local grid, Chelmsford prioritizes buying from new renewable energy sources in the New England region.

 

Stable and consistent pricing until November 2027

Chelmsford Choice 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, 24-month contract with prices that are fixed until November 2027. In comparison, National Grid’s prices change every 6 months or less, which can expose you to seasonal price spikes. Participating in Chelmsford Choice will make your electricity supply price predictable and stable and will protect you from seasonal spikes.

 

The freedom to leave at any time with no fee or penalty

Chelmsford Choice 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 fee or penalty. This feature makes the program different from many private electricity supply contracts, which may include minimum participation periods and early-termination fees.
