Electricity rates in Massachusetts
Electricity rates in Massachusetts in the past 6 months have increased on average 71%. See below how much you are overpaying if you are on the utility default rate compared to available supply rates in the market. (Last updated February 24, 2023)
Your Massachusetts electric rate options
Massachusetts has a large energy market with many electricity suppliers. Customers often find it difficult to choose a new electricity plan due to the common fine print, hidden fees, and escalating rates once your term ends. This is why the majority of electricity customers remain on utility's default rate, which increased 71% on average in the past 6 months. This will equate to hundreds of dollars per year more for many customers.
You can use Arbor to automatically find and automatically get you to the best electricity rates in your area at absolutely no cost, commitment, or changes to your service. Currently there are rates available that are below the utility default rate.
