Community Choice Power Supply Program

What is the Community Choice Power Supply Program?

The Community Choice Power Supply Program, also known as municipal aggregation, allows local government to combine the purchasing power of its residents to achieve savings on electricity costs. In doing so, it creates competition among suppliers which helps ensure aggressive rates. Consumers are no longer “stuck” with the cost and fluctuation of basic service rates because the program offers them another option.

Medway's Current Municipal Aggregation Contract - Expires September 2028

Through competitive bidding, Medway selected First Point Power as the new electricity supplier. Residents can expect to pay $0.15681 per kwh throughout the duration of the 24-month contract term, which runs from September 2026 through September 2028.

Renewable Energy Content

In addition to the default rate option, Medway residents who wish to purchase electricity with a higher renewable energy content may opt-in to green product listed below. Although the cost of this product is higher than the default rate, this option allows residents to purchase 100% locally sourced renewable energy content.

Eversource’s Residential Basic Service meets MA renewable energy requirements and is in effect from August 1, 2026 - January 31, 2027. Assuming usage of 600-kilowatt hours of electricity per month, residents can expect to see an average savings for that period. The default rate meets the Massachusetts renewable energy requirements, which is 69% renewable  (75% renewable in 2027.)

How to Participate

IF YOU DO NOTHING, you will be automatically enrolled in Product #1. This product is identical to the Eversource, except it's cheaper because the Town was able to aggregate. Beginning with the September 2026 meter reads, you will see immediate savings using the new Product #1 vs staying with Eversource. 

IF YOU WANT 100% locally sourced renewable power, you may OPT-IN to Product #2. 

IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE in the program, you must OPT-OUT. 

To Opt-Out you can fill out the Opt-Out Form at colonialpowergroup.com/medway OR call Direct Energy at (866) 968-8062 and ask to be placed on the Eversource Basic Service, OR call Colonial Power Group at (866) 485-5858 ext. 1. 

Residents will not notice any change in their electricity service. The only discernible difference will be that First Point Power of Cranston, Rhode Island, will be printed under “Supplier Services” on Eversource’s monthly bills starting in October 2026. Residents and small business owners will continue to receive one bill from Eversource and to send payments to Eversource for processing. There will be no interruption in billing, power, or customer service.

There are no enrollment, early termination, or cancellation fees attached to the Medway electricity program. Residents who choose to opt-out can also opt-in at a later date if they so choose at no cost. 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’s Basic Service. However, future savings cannot be guaranteed.
