Welcome!

Important program news:

Beginning in May 2026, the Acton Power Choice Standard price will fall from 16.031 ¢/kWh to 15.372 ¢/kWh. This price change is made possible because of a reduction in the amount of voluntary renewable energy purchased through the program for participants in the Acton Power Choice Standard option. The reduction in renewable content is being made for two primary reasons:

  • To protect all program participants from a potential price increase as a result of a regulatory change.
  • To reflect the reality that, under the current federal administration, the purchase of additional electricity from renewable sources no longer leads to the development of new renewable energy projects.

Most program participants are enrolled in the Acton Power Choice Standard option and will see the new, lower price on their June 2026 Eversource bill. The new price will be in effect until December 2026.

Check back soon for the official announcement from the Town of Acton.

Acton Power Choice is an electricity aggregation program, which is a group electricity purchasing program from the Town of Acton for residents and businesses. Acton Power Choice provides:

  • Town-vetted electricity supply options
  • Stable, long-term electricity supply prices
  • Consumer protections without high pressure or fees

More than 200 other Massachusetts cities and towns have similar programs.

How it works

 Participating in Acton Power Choice will change your electricity supplier and the price Eversource uses to calculate the Supply charge on your electric bill, but participating will not replace Eversource as your electric utility or change the Delivery charges on your bill. How aggregation works.

Savings cannot be guaranteed

Please note, while Acton Power Choice offers the potential for savings when compared with Eversource’s Basic Service prices, there is no guarantee of savings. This is because Eversource’s prices change seasonally and future Eversource prices are unknown.

Protect yourself!

If you receive mail about an electricity offer, read it carefully before signing anything. If you do not see:

1. The Acton Power Choice name
2. The Acton Town Seal

…the offer is NOT from Acton Power Choice  

Also, please remember, Eversource will never knock on your door or call you to talk about your electric bill. Eversource communicates in writing, and their correspondence always bears their logo. If someone calls claiming to be from Eversource, they are not. They are from a private company trying to get your business.
