Changing your price never turns off your power.

Your utility still brings the power to your home and sends the bill. Another company only sets the price.

Massachusetts Basic Service by electric company

The standard price is what you pay if you never picked another company. Under it are the cheapest plans that lock a lower price for 6 months or more, for a home that uses 1,000 kWh a month.

Price change dates and price index

Basic Service and Energy Switch Massachusetts, explained

What is Basic Service?

It is your electric company's own price for power. You pay it if you never picked another company.

It changes twice a year, on February 1 and August 1.

What is Energy Switch Massachusetts?

It is the State of Massachusetts's price list at energyswitchma.gov. The offers on this page come from it.

My town has its own electricity plan. Which price do I pay?

Many Massachusetts towns pick one company and one price for everyone in town. This is called municipal aggregation.

If your town has one, you may pay the town's price, not Basic Service. Look at the supply part of your bill.
