The Town of Medway has signed a twenty-four month contract with a new supplier, First Point Power. Beginning with the September 2026 meter reads, the Medway Community Choice Power Supply Program’s standard product, which meets the Massachusetts Renewable Energy Requirement of 69.1%, will have a new rate of $0.15681 per kWh. The Program will also continue to offer an optional product that provides 100% Massachusetts Class I Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) at a rate of $0.18337 per kWh.
For Medway residents and businesses who are enrolled in the Town’s standard product, the current rate of $0.12140 per kWh will expire and the new rate of $0.15681 per kWh will take effect with the September 2026 meter reads. This represents an increase of $21 per month on the supply side of the bill given average usage of 600 kWh. However, this new rate is 9 percent lower than Eversource’s Residential Basic Service rate of $0.17323 per kWh. Residents can expect to see an average savings of $10 per month for the months of September 2026 through January 2027.
Medway re-launched its electricity program in March 2025 in an effort to develop an energy program that would be stable and affordable. From inception through March 2026, the Program has saved residents and small businesses over $780,000 in electricity costs as compared to Eversource Basic Service.
It is important to note that no action is required by current participants. All accounts currently enrolled in the Program will remain with their current product selection and see the new rate and First Point Power printed under the “Supplier Services” section of their monthly bill. This change will be seen on the October 2026 bills.
The Medway Community Choice Power Supply Program has no fees or charges. 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, future savings cannot be guaranteed.
Eversource has several programs to help income-eligible families and customers needing special assistance meet their energy needs. To learn more visit eversource.com/residential/account- billing/payment-assistance.
