Welcome!

The Cambridge Community Electricity Program is a City electricity aggregation program that supports the development of local renewable energy projects. The program also offers the potential for savings compared with Eversource’s Basic Service prices (though savings cannot be guaranteed), and it provides a City-vetted alternative to Eversource’s Basic Service and to other electricity offers in the marketplace.

Choose the electricity option that is right for you

The Cambridge Community Electricity Program offers three choices so you can choose the option that is right for you.

How it works

 A municipal electricity aggregation is a group electricity purchasing program. Participating in the Cambridge Community Electricity Program 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.
