Program prices

Westborough Power Choice offers three plans.

As a new participant, you will be automatically enrolled in Westborough’s Standard Plan, which provides an additional 20% of your electricity from renewable sources (MA Class I RECs).
Westborough’s Budget Plan is available by request and provides the minimum from renewable sources that is required by state law.
Westborough’s 100% Green Plan is also available by request and provides 100% of your electricity from renewable sources (MA Class I RECs).

As a participant in Westborough Power Choice, your electricity supplier will be First Point Power.

If you are eligible for a low-income discount or fuel assistance, you continue to receive that benefit as a participant in Westborough Power Choice. If you have National Grid’s Budget Plan, it continues to apply to your whole bill.

Westborough Power Choice prices are fixed until November 2027.

What happens in November 2027?

The Town intends to sign a new, long-term contract when the contract with First Point Power expires. The Town will announce the new prices before they take effect, and your account will be automatically enrolled into the new price for your program option unless you opt out or choose a different option.
