Disclaimer: A goal of the WinPower program is to produce savings for customers, but savings cannot be guaranteed compared to the utility’s basic service rate which changes every three months for industrial customers and every six months for residential and small commercial customers. The Aggregation program seeks to provide price stability and average savings over the full term of the program, but because future basic service rates are not known, there is no guarantee of savings.
***JULY 2019 UPDATE***
Eversource summer rates announced –
WinPower rate for residential account holders at near parity with Eversource AND with 5% more renewably sourced electricity
In July of 2017, WinPower, our town’s Community Choice Electricity program was launched. First and foremost, WinPower promised to provide price stability when compared to Eversource Basic Service rates. This resulted in an amazing 85% town participation rate. But WinPower also hoped to generate savings for residents.
Today, the WinPower (default product) rate is nearly the same as Eversource’s Residential Basic Service rate, a mere one half of one percent higher than Eversource. And WinPower has 5% more local renewable energy! If you opted out of the program previously, now is the time to opt back in. Contact the WinPower program supplier, Dynegy, at (866) 220-5696 to make the switch, or enroll here.
