Hanover Energy Choice is a group electricity buying program for Hanover residents and businesses. Using the purchasing power of our community, the program provides:
The program launched in May 2025. More than 200 other Massachusetts communities have similar programs.
Hanover Energy Choice offers three options for the electricity supply price on your National Grid bill. As a new participant, you will be automatically enrolled in Hanover Standard, which is the lowest-priced option in the program. Or you can make another choice. Hanover Greener provides an additional 20% of your electricity from renewable sources. Hanover Greenest provides all of your electricity from renewable sources. Make the choice that is right for you!

Hanover Energy Choice offers long-term prices, while National Grid’s prices change seasonally. Use the price calculator to compare Hanover Energy Choice prices with National Grid’s most recent 12-month average prices.
Through Hanover Energy Choice, the Town has selected Gridwealth Electric as our electricity supplier (the company that puts electricity on the grid for us) and locked in long-term pricing for the electricity supply price on our bills. But National Grid remains Hanover’s electric utility and continues to handle our billing, address power outages, and deliver our electricity with no interruption.
If you have not signed a private electricity supply contract, you have National Grid’s Basic Service. New electricity accounts in Hanover on National Grid’s Basic Service (except those with a customer-initiated block) are eligible for automatic enrollment. Automatic enrollment occurs on a periodic basis throughout the year. If your account is eligible for automatic enrollment, you will receive a notification in the mail from the Town in advance. All similar programs throughout the state use an automatic enrollment model, but you are free to opt out before being automatically enrolled. See the notice of automatic enrollment.
If you have signed a private electricity supply contract, your account will not be eligible for automatic enrollment, but you can request enrollment online or by contacting customer support with our program consultants. (Restrictions apply for industrial accounts.) We recommend that you carefully check the terms and conditions of your supplier agreement. Your ability to terminate your agreement with your supplier may be restricted. Learn more about participating.
If you are enrolled, Hanover Energy Choice will be integrated into your existing National Grid electric bill.
Your supplier will appear as Gridwealth – Hanover Energy Choice.
You will not see any additional charges on your bill or receive any additional electric bills because of participating in the program.
Maybe! All Hanover Energy Choice prices are currently lower than National Grid’s residential price, and the Hanover Standard option price is lower than National Grid’s commercial price. But Hanover cannot guarantee that program prices will always be lower than National Grid because National Grid’s prices change seasonally, and we do not know their future prices.
National Grid will never knock on your door or call you to talk about your electric bill.
Only provide your National Grid account number if you are ready to change your electricity supplier.
