If you participate

  • Your electricity supplier will be First Point Power. See how the program will appear on your Eversource bill.
  • And you are eligible for a low-income discount or fuel assistance, you will continue to receive that benefit with no change.
  • And you are enrolled in Eversource’s Budget Billing, it will continue to apply to your total bill.

In December 2028, the City intends to sign a new, long-term contract when the contract with First Point Power expires. The City will announce the new prices before they take effect. Your account will be automatically enrolled into the new price for your program option unless you opt out or choose a different option.
