If your account is eligible for automatic enrollment, you will receive a detailed notice in the mail from the Town shortly before program launch, and no action will be required if you wish to participate.
  • A private electricity supply contract: Your account will not be eligible for automatic enrollment, but it will be easy to request enrollment by providing your National Grid account information online or over the phone.
  • Asked National Grid to place a block on your account: Your account will not be eligible for automatic enrollment, even if you have National Grid’s Basic Service. To participate, you must first ask National Grid to remove the block, then request enrollment in Randolph Community Electricity.

  • Credits on your bill or you receive an incentive payment because of solar panels on your property or because of participating in community solar: You will continue to receive your credits or incentive payments. Further, there will be no change in how they are calculated. Their calculation is not based on your electricity supply price.
  • National Grid’s GreenUp Energy Program: You will not be eligible for automatic enrollment in Randolph Community Electricity, even though you have National Grid’s Basic Service pricing.
