Trying to keep your bills manageable this winter?

As the cold drives energy costs up, Boston’s city-run Boston Community Choice Electricity program can help ease the burden. Basic and Standard plans cost less than Eversource, with no change to your service.

Learn more at boston.gov/bcce.
“Bar chart comparing electricity rates per kilowatt-hour among three providers. Boston Community Choice Electricity Basic shows 0.13644 cents, Boston Community Choice Electricity Standard shows 0.14214 cents, and Eversource Basic Residential shows 0.15065 cents. The chart illustrates that Boston Community Choice Electricity’s rates are lower than Eversource. Header text reads ‘This winter, you can heat your home for less’ with explanatory text noting that while Eversource rates are increasing, Boston Community Choice Electricity’s plans cost less and use renewable energy.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
