Welcome!

Canton Electricity Choice is a group electricity purchasing program from the Town of Canton for Canton residents and businesses. Canton Electricity Choice provides:

  • More renewable energy in your electricity supply
  • Stable electricity supply prices (though savings compared with Eversource’s prices cannot be guaranteed)
  • Consumer protections without high pressure or fees

The program is a Town-vetted alternative to Eversource’s Basic Service and to other electricity offers in the marketplace.

Canton received state regulatory approval for the program in December 2023, and the program launched in June 2024.

How it works

 Canton Electricity Choice is a group electricity purchasing program. Participating in Canton Electricity 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.

Savings cannot be guaranteed

Please note that, while Canton Electricity Choice offers the potential for savings when compared with Eversource’s Basic Service price, there is no guarantee of savings. This is because Eversource’s fixed Basic Service prices change every 6 months for residential and small business customers and every 3 months for large business customers and future Eversource prices are not known.

Protect your electricity account number

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