Your options

Walpole Power Choice offers two program options:

  • As a new participant, you will be automatically enrolled in Power Choice Standard. You will receive the minimum amount of electricity from renewable sources required by state law. (Examples of renewable energy sources include the sun and the wind.)
  • If you want to receive all of your electricity from renewable sources, and you are willing to pay a bit more for it, you can choose the Power Choice Green option instead.

If you don’t want to participate at all you may opt out at any time with no fee or penalty.

Electricity supplier: If you participate in Walpole Power Choice, you will see Dynegy listed on your Eversource electricity bill as your electricity supplier. See an example Eversource bill.

Electricity mix: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires that all electricity supply products include a minimum of 59.2% from renewable energy resources in 2023, including 22% from premium renewable energy sources in the New England region (MA Class I RECs). Power Choice Standard meets the minimum requirement. Power Choice Green exceeds this requirement. The program’s electricity supplier is required to provide an energy mix disclosure label that offers details about all of the sources of electricity provided. Visit the Resources page to download the most recent label.

* Prices for both Power Choice Standard and Power Choice Green include a $0.001/kWh administration fee. 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. Program prices apply only to the electricity supply portion of your Eversource electric bill. Delivery charges on your Eversource electric bill are not affected by the Walpole Power Choice program.
