Sherborn Power Choice is a group electricity buying program for Sherborn residents and business owners. Using the purchasing power of our community, Sherborn Power Choice provides:
More than 200 Massachusetts cities and towns have similar programs.
Sherborn Power Choice offers three options for the electricity supply part of your Eversource bill. As a new participant, you will be automatically enrolled in Sherborn Standard and will receive an additional 50% of your electricity from renewable sources. Or you can make another choice. Sherborn Select provides 100% of your electricity from renewable sources. Sherborn Basic provides the minimum from renewable sources required by state law. Make the choice that’s right for you!

Through Sherborn Power Choice, the Town has selected Direct Energy as our electricity supplier (the company that puts electricity on the grid for us) and locked in long-term pricing for the electricity supply charge on our bills. But Eversource remains Sherborn’s electric utility and continues to handle our billing, address power outages, and deliver our electricity with no interruption.
If you did not sign a private electricity supply contract, you have Eversource’s Basic Service. New accounts on Basic Service (except those with a customer-initiated block) are eligible for automatic enrollment. The automatic enrollment process happens on a roughly quarterly basis throughout the year. All similar programs throughout the state use an automatic enrollment model, but you are free to opt out before being automatically enrolled. You will receive a notification from the Town in the mail in advance. See the notice of automatic enrollment.
If you signed a private electricity supply contract, your account will not be eligible for automatic enrollment, but you can request enrollment online or by contacting customer support with our program consultants. (Restrictions apply for large business accounts.) We recommend that you carefully check the terms and conditions of your supplier agreement. Your ability to terminate your agreement with your supplier may be restricted.
If you are enrolled, Sherborn Power Choice will be integrated into your existing Eversource electric bill. Your supplier will appear as Sherborn Power Choice-Direct Energy. But you will not see any additional charges on your bill or receive any additional electric bills because of participating in the program.
Maybe! All Sherborn Power Choice prices are currently lower than Eversource’s residential and small business electricity supply prices. But Sherborn cannot guarantee that program prices will always be lower than Eversource because Eversource’s prices change seasonally, and we do not know their future prices.
Eversource will never knock on your door or call you to talk about your electric bill.
Only provide your Eversource account number if you are ready to change your electricity supplier.
