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.

Important program news:

The Cambridge Community Electricity Program will offer New Fixed Prices and Renewable Energy Options for Residents and Businesses
The Program is entering a new two-year contract period with Direct Energy Services LLC (Direct Energy) resulting in new fixed electricity prices starting in January 2024. While new program prices will be higher than current prices due to market conditions, Cambridge has used its purchasing power to secure prices that are lower than Eversource’s upcoming residential Basic Service price, though future savings compared with Eversource cannot be guaranteed. Residential and commercial account holders will also now have three electricity options that vary in price and renewable energy content.

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.
