What MA utilities charge vs. suppliers

These are real rates, updated every 15 minutes. The "Basic Service" rate is your utility's default. Beat that number and you save.

Switching takes 5 minutes

Here's the whole process.

1

Enter your ZIP code

We'll show you rates from DPU-licensed suppliers in your utility's territory.

2

Pick a plan

Fixed rate if you want to lock in your price. Variable if you're okay with it moving. Green if you want renewables.

3

Enter your account number

It's on your utility bill. That's the only thing you need.

Done

Your utility handles the switch. New rate shows up on your next bill cycle. Your lights stay on the whole time.

You have 3 days to cancel after enrolling. And you can return to your utility's Basic Service rate when your contract's up. Massachusetts law guarantees it.
