The power of our community

Hopkinton Power Choice is in development! A group electricity buying program for residents and businesses, Hopkinton Power Choice will use the purchasing power of our community to provide:

  • Cleaner electricity
  • New electricity choices
  • Consumer protections

More than 200 other Massachusetts cities and towns have similar programs, which are known as municipal electricity aggregations. The Town is targeting 2025 for program launch, pending state regulatory approval.

Program benefits

No interruption in service

Through Hopkinton Power Choice, the Town will select its own electricity supplier (the company that puts electricity on the grid for us) and will lock in a long-term price for the Supply charge on our bills. But Eversource will remain Hopkinton’s electric utility and will continue to handle billing, address power outages, and deliver our electricity with no interruption.

How aggregation works

The same electric bill

Hopkinton Power Choice will be integrated into your existing Eversource electric bill, giving you a new price for your Supply charge. But you will not see any additional charges on your bill or receive any additional electric bills because of participating in the program.

Aggregation simplified

Savings cannot be guaranteed

The Town of Hopkinton is committed to pursuing stable and competitive prices. Savings compared with Eversource’s Basic Service prices are also possible. But because Eversource’s prices change and their future prices are not known, savings compared with Eversource can never be guaranteed.

Protect your electricity account number

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