Wrentham, MA – (May 20, 2025) – The Town of Wrentham is pleased to announce that it will launch its electricity supply program, Wrentham Community Electricity, in July 2025. The program is a municipal aggregation, a model already offered by more than 200 cities and towns in Massachusetts.
Wrentham Community Electricity will offer two electricity supply options to all Wrentham residents and businesses. The Town’s primary offering, Wrentham Standard, will cost less than the current National Grid Residential Basic Service rate. Although future savings cannot be guaranteed, Wrentham’s program follows a model with a strong track record of delivering long-term electricity savings in many Massachusetts communities. Wrentham residents and businesses also have the option to choose Wrentham Plus, a product with 100% renewable energy.
Wrentham Community Electricity will provide long-term price stability, with prices fixed for 29 months until December 2027. The program will also support the growth of renewable energy in New England because all additional renewable energy in the Wrentham Plus product will come from “Class I” sources. These sources are primarily wind and solar, located within or imported into New England.
The program was authorized by Town Meeting in 2023 and approved by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities in January 2025.
Wrentham residential and business electricity customers using National Grid Basic Service supply are eligible for automatic enrollment in Wrentham Standard as of their first meter read on or after July 9, 2025. In May 2025, all eligible customers will receive a Notification Letter on behalf of the Town from Dynegy, the electricity supplier for the program. The letter will notify them of the upcoming enrollment and provide instructions on how to choose a different program option from Wrentham Standard or how to opt out of the program (i.e., not participate) before the program starts.
Participation in Wrentham Community Electricity is voluntary. Anyone who does not want to participate may opt out without penalty, either before the program begins or at any time during the program.
Electricity customers who are currently enrolled with a third-party supplier will not receive the Notification Letter and will not be automatically enrolled. These customers can voluntarily join the program, but are advised to check with their current supplier in case it may charge penalties or early termination fees if they leave that supplier during the term of their contract.
Participation in Wrentham Community Electricity will only change the “Supply” portion of your National Grid electricity bill. National Grid will continue to manage electricity billing, maintain poles and wires, and respond to storm outages. Customers using budget billing or receiving low-income rate discounts will continue to receive those discounts without interruption. Similarly, customers receiving net metering or other solar benefits will continue to receive those benefits.
We invite you to join us at a community meeting to learn more about the program:
- In-person and virtually accessible on June 11, 2025, at 7 p.m. in the Fiske Public Library (110 Randall Road, Wrentham, MA 02093).
