Prices

Pepperell Community Electricity offers three options.

As a new participant, you will be automatically enrolled in Pepperell Basic, which is the least-expensive option in the program.
Pepperell Greener and Pepperell 100% Green provide more of your electricity from clean, renewable sources and are available by request.

All Pepperell Community Electricity prices are fixed from November 2026 – November 2029.

As a participant in Pepperell Community Electricity, your electricity supplier will be Direct Energy.

If you are eligible for a low-income discount or fuel assistance, you continue to receive that benefit as a participant in Pepperell Community Electricity. If you have National Grid’s Budget Plan, it continues to apply to your total bill.

What happens in November 2029?

The Town intends to sign a new, long-term contract when the contract with Direct Energy expires. The Town will announce the new prices before they take effect, and your account will be automatically enrolled into the new price for your program option unless you opt out or choose a different option.
