Nantucket PowerChoice benefits

Using the group buying power of our community, Nantucket PowerChoice provides Nantucket residents and businesses with:

Stable electricity prices

Nantucket PowerChoice offers long-term prices for the electricity supply part of your bill. The current prices will end in November, and the program will move to a new 24-month contract with prices that are fixed until November 2026. In comparison, National Grid’s Basic Service prices change every 6 months or less, which exposes you to seasonal spikes in electricity prices. Participating in Nantucket PowerChoice will make your electricity supply price predictable and stable and will protect you from those seasonal price spikes.

 

Direct support for new solar projects on Nantucket

Participating in either option in Nantucket PowerChoice provides direct support to the Nantucket Local SOLAR Rebate Program and to the development of new residential solar electricity projects on Nantucket. By helping to build new solar projects on Nantucket, you help to reduce Nantucket’s reliance on fossil fuels during peak electricity use periods, which can bring down electricity costs for everyone.

Electricity supply choices

Through Nantucket PowerChoice, you have two choices for the electricity supply part of your bill. You can automatically receive the minimum amount of your electricity from renewable sources required by law, or you can choose to receive 100% of your electricity from renewable sources.

 

Consumer protections

Nantucket PowerChoice has been designed with consumer protections. Chief among them, the program has no hidden fees, and you have the freedom to opt out of, or leave, the program at any time with no penalty. This feature makes the program different from many private electricity supply contracts, which may include minimum participation periods and early-termination fees.
