Participating in Newton Power Choice
All Eversource Basic Service customers will be automatically enrolled per State law at the default amount of renewable energy.
Participation is not required. You may choose not to participate within the first 30 days or at any time after enrollment without penalty.
If you have already signed a contract with an electricity supplier, you will not be automatically enrolled, but you may opt in to the program.
Participants will see two key changes
- The Supply portion of your Eversource electric bill will indicate that your electricity supplier is the supplier selected by the City.
- Newton Power Choice will calculate the supply portion of your electric bill based on the aggregated program price for the entire community.
What will not change
- You will continue to receive your bill from and pay Eversource. This is the only electric bill you will receive as a participant in this program.
- You will continue to call Eversource if your power goes out.
- If you are eligible for a low-income delivery rate, you will continue to receive that benefit.
- If you have solar power, net metering credits will continue to be calculated based on the Eversource Basic Service price.
