Ashland’s 100% Green Energy Program

Ashland is continuing the Municipal Aggregation Program for residents and businesses. The Program rate will be $0.15988 per kWh and uses 100 percent green energy which is MAReq and 25% MA Class Recs. The basic Eversource service rate is $0.17215 per kWh.

“We’re pleased to continue offering an electric supply price that is less than Eversource’s basic service rate. As Eversource costs continue to rise, participants in the program should see even more savings in the future.” said Town Manager Michael Herbert.

No action is required by individual consumers. All accounts currently enrolled in the Program continue to be enrolled.

There are no enrollment, early termination, or cancellation fees attached to the Ashland electricity program. Residents who choose to opt-out can also opt-in at a later date if they so choose at no cost. However, anyone switching from a contract with a third-party supplier may be subject to penalties or early termination fees charged by that supplier. Ratepayers should verify terms before switching.

Basic Service rates change twice a year or more, depending on rate class. As a result, the aggregation rate may not always be lower than the Basic Service rate. The goal of the aggregation is to deliver savings over the life of the program against Eversource Basic Service. However, such savings and future savings cannot be guaranteed.
