What's Energy Switch MA?

It's the official electricity comparison tool from the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities, launched in 2016. Massachusetts restructured its electricity market in 1997 under the Electric Utility Restructuring Act, which means you can choose your supplier rather than just using your utility's basic service rate.

Energy Switch MA lists all the DPU-approved suppliers and their rates. It's a solid resource, but comparing options takes time - and figuring out your actual savings requires some math.

We're not replacing it. We just made it faster to see the numbers that matter.

Common questions

Is this the official DPU site?

No. The official site is energyswitchma.gov. We're a separate service that pulls rate data from the same DPU-approved suppliers.

Are the rates the same?

Yes. We get data from the same licensed suppliers. The rates here are what you'd pay if you enrolled.

Is there a fee?

No. It's free. If you enroll through us, we get a small referral fee from the supplier - your rate stays the same.
