WinPower is our Town’s electricity supply program launched in 2017. The Program provides a range of electricity supply options including WinPower100, which provides 100% clean energy to residents and businesses. If you receive a letter from the Program, you are likely a newly eligible customer. The Town is excited for you to join! Please contact us if you have any questions.

At a time when energy rates are increasing, WinPower provides program participants in Winchester with competitive, fixed rates that will not change for the duration of the term, December 2022 – December 2024. Savings cannot be guaranteed because future Eversource Basic Service rates are unknown.

WinPower is offered by the town of Winchester to provide more electricity supply options and more renewable energy to Winchester residents and businesses. WinPower doesn’t replace Eversource, the electric utility serving Winchester. Eversource continues to maintain distribution lines, service, and billing, so all WinPower customers still receive a bill from Eversource, with the Supplier listed as “Direct Energy – Town of Winchester”.

WinPower is the only electricity program offered by the town of Winchester. Beware of look-alike offers and always look for the town seal on materials you receive.

WinPower Electricity Products

December 2022 to December 2024

WinPower’s default option, WinPower Standard, has 20% more renewable electricity than required by Massachusetts law. Participants in the Program receive WinPower Standard unless they affirmatively choose one of the other electricity options, including WinPower100, which delivers 100% clean electricity.

Future savings compared to Eversource Basic Service cannot be guaranteed because Eversource supply rates change every six months for residential and commercial customers and every three months for industrial customers.

WinPower 100 includes 100% clean energy. Your participation in WinPower 100 Winchester’s stated climate goal of an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

WinPower Performance

Since the town of Winchester launched the WinPower Program in July 2017, the Program has delivered price stability to Winchester residents through low and consistent electricity rates. Since its start, WinPower has collectively saved residents millions of dollars in lower electricity costs. This strong performance compared to Eversource Basic Service rates has earned WinPower an 85% participation rate. Future savings cannot be guaranteed because future Eversource Basic Service rates are unknown. Best of all, WinPower accomplished this while including more renewable energy in your electricity than Eversource Basic Service.

How It Works

Most residents and businesses in Winchester already participate in the one of the options within the WinPower Program. Check your electricity bill to see if you’re one of them. The supplier should be listed as “Direct Energy – Town of Winchester.” If Eversource is still listed as your supplier, you may complete the enrollment form to sign up for the best WinPower product option for you. If a different supplier is listed, contact that supplier to ensure there are no penalties or termination fees for leaving that supplier before you join the WinPower Program.

Participation in the WinPower Program is voluntary. You can leave the Program at any time without any associated fees or penalties.

The WinPower Program will periodically send Customer Notification letters to new or newly eligible electricity customers, which includes program details, information about product prices, and renewable energy certificates (RECs). Customers who receive this letter that do not opt out will be automatically enrolled. To enroll sooner, use our online forms.
