The Town of Medway is pleased to announce that Direct Energy Services (“Direct Energy”) has been
selected as the supplier for its Community Choice Power Supply Program (“Program”). This Program is a
municipal aggregation which enables local government to combine the purchasing power of its residents
and businesses to provide them with an alternative to Eversource Basic Service (M.G.L. c. 164, § 134). This
Program only affects the supply portion of your monthly bill. It will not affect the delivery portion of your
monthly bill. Eversource will continue to deliver your electricity but Medway has chosen the supplier for
the Program. Direct Energy will provide electric power supply for all consumers currently on Basic Service
in Medway.
Following the approval of Article 23 at Town Meeting in May 2016, the Town of Medway developed and
published its Aggregation Plan (“Plan”) in compliance with Massachusetts law regarding municipal
aggregation of electric consumers (M.G.L. c. 164, § 134). The Select Board most recently approved the
Plan in August 2023, and a power supply agreement was executed this past December to take effect
March 2025.
LOOK FOR A MAILING WITH THE TOWN SEAL that contains information about the Program. Those on
Eversource Basic Service should receive an envelope with a Consumer Notification Letter and Opt-Out
Reply Card. Those already enrolled with a third-party supplier should receive an informational postcard.
BASIC SERVICE CONSUMERS do not need to take any action to participate. You will be AUTOMATICALLY
enrolled. The aggregation rate is fixed at $0.12140 per kWh for all rate classes for 18 months (March 2025
to September 2026). This product meets MA renewable energy requirements.

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.
