Q & A
Related questions
- Does my Cambridge laundromat qualify for supplier choice?
- If your bill shows Eversource Massachusetts as the distribution company—not a municipal light plant—you may shop electric and gas suppliers listed on EnergySwitchMA. MLP towns like Concord or Wellesley run separate municipal utilities without this IOU supplier market.
- What is Basic Service on an Eversource MA bill?
- Basic Service is Eversource’s default competitive-supply option procured under DPU rules when you have not chosen a third-party supplier. Compare supplier quotes against the published Basic Service rate class matching your account before switching.
- Who handles outages after I switch suppliers?
- Eversource continues to operate the local distribution system and restore service after storms. Supplier changes affect commodity pricing lines, not the utility’s obligation to maintain wires and respond to emergencies.
