Welcome!

Lexington’s Community Choice Program is an electricity aggregation program, which is a type of group electricity purchasing program for Lexington residents and businesses from the Town of Lexington.

Lexington’s Community Choice Program gives electricity customers in Lexington a Town alternative to Eversource’s Basic Service and to other electricity supply offers in the marketplace.

Program participants receive electricity from renewable sources and long-term, stable electricity supply prices (though savings compared with Eversource’s prices cannot be guaranteed).

Cleaner electricity and consumer-friendly choices

Lexington’s Community Choice program offers three consumer-friendly electricity choices:

  • 100% Green is the default program offering for 10.80 ¢/kWh. With 100% Green, all of your electricity is generated by renewable sources, like the sun and the wind. New electricity accounts in Lexington will be automatically enrolled in 100% Green within a few months of being opened.
  • If you wish to receive all of your electricity from renewable sources and also support the development of new renewable energy projects in New England, you can choose the New England Green option for 13.291 ¢/kWh.
  • Or you may choose to receive only the minimum amount of renewable electricity required by state law with the Basic option for 9.935 ¢/kWh.

Learn more about your options in the program.

How it works

 A municipal electricity aggregation is a group electricity purchasing program. Participating in Lexington’s Community Choice program will change your electricity supplier and the price Eversource uses to calculate the supply portion of your electricity bill, but participating will not replace Eversource as your electric utility. How aggregation works.

Savings cannot be guaranteed

Please note that, while Lexington’s Community Choice Program offers the potential for savings when compared with Eversource’s Basic Service price, there is no guarantee of savings. This is because Eversource’s prices change every 6 months for residential and small business customers and every 3 months for large business customers, and future Eversource prices are unknown.

Protect your Eversource account number

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