Waltham Community Electricity Program
Waltham Community Electricity is a program organized by the City of Waltham to provide residents and businesses with competitively selected electricity supply options. Waltham's Plan is similar to other Municipal Aggregation Programs run by cities and towns throughout Massachusetts where communities aggregate the electric load of customers within their borders to procure a competitive supply of electricity. Eversource continues to deliver electricity, repair power outages, and maintain the electricity grid; they also send residents and businesses monthly electricity bills. From 2021 to 2023, Waltham Community Electricity has cumulatively saved participants over $22M on electricity supply costs and cumulatively purchased over 36 MWh of renewable energy.
On the WCE website (waltham-cea.com), residents, business owners, and other electricity customers can:
- Learn how the program works;
- See different electricity products;
- Easily enroll in any of the three WCE options or leave (opt-out) the program;
- See the benefits of supporting renewable energy generation;
- Contact Dynegy Energy about Waltham CEA at (866) 220-5696
Notices about the program:
Please keep in mind that future savings cannot be guaranteed because Eversource Basic Service rates change every six months for residential and commercial customers and every three months for industrial customers.
Newly eligible customers will receive a Customer Notification letter package detailing the program and ways to leave the program (opt out); those who choose not to opt out will be automatically enrolled. Those who choose to opt-out from the Waltham Community Electricity Program can do so at no charge or penalty.
Customers who have chosen a third-party supplier will not receive an opt-out package and will not be automatically enrolled. They can voluntarily join the program but they may be subject to penalties or early termination fees from the third-party supplier if they switch to the electricity program during the term of their contract with their chosen supplier.
