Community Choice Power Supply Program

Municipal Electricity Aggregation

The Berlin Community Choice Power Supply Program is a municipal aggregation program. According to Massachusetts law (M.G.L. c. 164, § 134), municipal aggregation enables local government to combine the purchasing power of its residents and businesses so that it can provide them with an alternative electricity supply. Once in place, the local government can monitor and set its own energy-related goals for the program such as savings, stability, or green options. Consumers are no longer “stuck” with the cost and fluctuation of the utility’s Basic Service rates because the program offers them another option.

This Program only affects the supply portion of your monthly bill. It will not affect the delivery portion. National Grid will continue to deliver your electricity but Berlin, using a competitive bid process, has chosen the supplier for the Program.

The Town of Berlin is pleased to announce that NextEra Energy Services Massachusetts, LLC., of Houston, Texas, is the supplier for its Program for the term: November 2021 - November 2024
