Watertown Electricity Choice benefits

Using the group buying power of our community, Watertown Electricity Choice provides Watertown residents and business owners with:

More electricity from renewable sources 

Watertown Electricity Choice is designed so that it increases the amount of renewable energy in the community’s electricity supply. When you participate, you automatically receive 100% of your electricity from renewable sources. Other options are also available.

 

Long-term, stable electricity supply prices

Watertown Electricity Choice offers long-term prices for the electricity supply part of your bill. The current prices will end in December, and the program will move to a new, 24-month contract with prices that are fixed until December 2028. In comparison, Eversource’s prices change every 6 months or less, which exposes you to seasonal price spikes.

 

Three electricity supply choices

Through Watertown Electricity Choice, you have three choices for your electricity supply. You automatically receive 100% of your electricity from renewable sources. You can also choose to receive 100% of your electricity from renewable sources within the New England region or to receive just the minimum from renewable sources required by law. Why opt up?

 

Consumer protections

Watertown Electricity Choice has been designed with consumer protections. Chief among them, the program has no hidden fees, and you have the freedom to opt out of, or leave, the program at any time with no fee or penalty. This feature makes the program different from many private electricity supply contracts, which may include minimum participation periods and early-termination fees.
