Program prices

Watertown Electricity Choice offers three options. As a new program participant, you will be automatically enrolled in Standard and will receive 100% of your electricity from renewable sources. Two other options are available by request.

Your electricity supplier will be Direct Energy. See how the program will appear on your Eversource bill.

If you are eligible for a low-income discount or fuel assistance, you will continue to receive that benefit with no change.

If you are enrolled in Eversource’s Budget Billing, it will continue to apply to your total bill.
