Basic Service

Basic Service customers have the choice of a six month fixed price or a monthly variable price.  Both the fixed and the variable pricing closely reflect the actual price of electricity on the wholesale market.

Basic Service rates are subject to change upon approval by the Mass. Department of Public Utilities.

Please note, all pricing is listed in cents per kilowatt hour.

Upon opening your account, all residential and small commercial or industrial customers are to be placed on this fixed rate. You also have the option of choosing the monthly variable rate, however you can only make this choice once.

The rates for each period is based on our contract with the Basic Service provider.

As a Eversource customer, you receive Basic Service if you do not receive your electric supply from a Competitive Power Supplier.

You may wish to shop the competitive market for your supplier.  You can then compare the Competitive Power Suppliers’ options to the Basic Service options from Eversource.  In addition to price, other service offerings may be of value to you.  You may want to review the length and terms of your proposed contract with the competitive power supplier, as well as billing, payment, deposit, warranty and other information.

If, in the future, you choose a Competitive Power Supplier, the supplier’s prices will go into effect on your next scheduled meter reading date, provided Eversource had notice of this change at least two business days prior to your next scheduled meter reading date.  (Your next scheduled meter reading date appears on your electric bill.)
