Rate Increase Notice

The new price will remain fixed through December 2023. NextEra, the supplier for the aggregation program, will be sending an explanatory letter of the price change to all customers participating in the Program.

Products described as Green contain renewable electricity above that required by state law. Local refers to New England.
