Massachusetts utilities and suppliers, explained

How do I pick the cheapest electricity supplier in Massachusetts?

Start with your utility — Eversource or National Grid — because that fixes your delivery charge and your basic service rate, the default supply price set by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (MA DPU) via competitive procurement every six months. Then check MA DPU-licensed competitive electricity suppliers on energyswitchma.gov, filtered to suppliers serving your utility. Compare each supplier's supply rate against your current basic service rate. If the supplier rate beats basic service for the full contract term, check the cancellation fee and renewal terms. The MA DPU updates basic service prices every January and July for residential customers — those are the dates rate shopping pays off most.

What's the difference between my utility and a competitive supplier?

In Massachusetts, the utility — a distribution company like Eversource or National Grid — owns the poles, wires, and meter and physically delivers electricity to your home. The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (MA DPU) regulates distribution rates and runs the basic service procurement that sets the default supply price for non-shopping customers. The competitive supplier is an MA DPU-licensed company you choose that sets your supply rate. You receive one bill from your utility, but the supply portion pays the competitive supplier if you've enrolled. The utility still handles outages, restoration, and meter reads. You can leave a supplier and return to basic service anytime; you can't switch utilities.

Are these rates real-time?

The competitive supplier rates on this page refresh daily from PowerKiosk's direct supplier feeds — what you see was published within the last twenty-four hours. Basic service rates for Eversource and National Grid change every six months for residential customers — typically January 1 and July 1 — following the MA DPU's competitive procurement auctions. Distribution charges shown reflect the most recent MA DPU-approved tariff. Rates can shift between your search and enrollment, particularly near the January and July basic service resets. Always confirm the supplier's contract terms on the enrollment page before signing — that's the binding rate.
