* Program prices include a $0.001/kWh administrative fee and a $0.001/kWh operational fee to support Town energy staff. Program prices could increase as a result of a change in law that results in a direct, material increase in costs during the term of the electricity supply agreement. Large commercial accounts may not be eligible for program pricing at the time of enrollment and may instead be offered market pricing. Visit the FAQ page for more information.
** The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires that all electricity supply products include a minimum of 62% from renewable energy resources in 2024, 63% in 2025, and 69% in 2026. To meet this requirement, Direct Energy must purchase electricity from MA Class I renewable energy projects and from other sources such as trash-to-energy or nuclear. Sharon Power Choice Basic meets the minimum requirement. The Sharon Power Choice Standard and Sharon Power Choice Green options exceed it by purchasing additional electricity from MA Class I renewable energy projects.
