Learn which plans are priced much lower than basic service.<\/em><\/center>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In September of 2023, MA was in the top five for highest electricity rates in the country. And that means MA energy customers were paying some of the highest energy bills month after month. But it turns out that MA customers could have saved big if they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/home\/energy-and-utilities\/electricity-rates-massachusetts\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">shop for cheaper rates<\/a>. So let&#8217;s see how you can save for REAL if you shop MA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maenergyratings.com\/electricity-rates\">electricity rates<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Why Shop For Cheap Electricity Rates?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, the MA Retail Energy Advancement League (REAL) reported that MA energy customers could have saved <a href=\"http:\/\/www.energychoicematters.com\/stories\/20240124c.html\">over $1.1 billion<\/a> in 2023 if they had shopped for cheaper rates. In fact, REAL found that in December 2023, there were 84 fixed-price <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maenergyratings.com\/peoples-choice\/best-plans-and-promos\">energy plans<\/a> and 64 100% renewable offers that had rates cheaper than basic service rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For basic service, <strong>Eversource<\/strong> currently charges 17.216 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Meanwhile, <strong>National Grid<\/strong> charges 18.213 cents per kWh. Assuming a customer uses the state average of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/electricity\/sales_revenue_price\/pdf\/table_5A.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\">577 kWh of energy<\/a> used per month, an average monthly supply charges between $99-$105. What we see in the REAL rates, consumers can do way better just by shopping. Just look at these rates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Shop Cheap Electricity Rates In MA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want the cheapest energy plan in MA, then check out <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maenergyratings.com\/companies\/constellation\">Constellation<\/a><\/strong>. Their <strong>36 Month Home Power Plan <\/strong>offers 36 months of power at 14.69 cents per kWh. This means an average monthly supply charge of about $84. <strong>Constellation<\/strong> also offers regular energy usage emails to help you monitor your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maenergyratings.com\/resources\/10-quick-energy-saving-tips\">energy saving<\/a> progress. You might also look over the <strong>Constellation<\/strong> <strong>24 Month Green Home Power Plan<\/strong>. This plan charges 15.19 cents per kWh (an average monthly supply charge of about $87).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Best Zero ETF Renewable Energy Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart shoppers might also want plans that don&#8217;t charge an early termination fee (ETF). That way, they can cancel or switch at no extra cost if a better deal comes during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maenergyratings.com\/blog\/ma-electricity-what-is-shoulder-month-pricing\/\">shoulder month<\/a> pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could check out <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maenergyratings.com\/companies\/green-mountain-energy\">Green Mountain Energy<\/a><\/strong> for their <strong>Pollution Free Reliable Rate<\/strong> plan. This plan powers your home with wind-generated energy for 15.30 cents per kWh (about $88 supply charge per month). You could also support solar power with their<strong> SolarSparc 10% 12<\/strong> plan which powers our home with 90% wind and 10% solar energy for 15.60 cents per kWh (about $90 monthly supply charge).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also check out <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maenergyratings.com\/companies\/direct-energy\">Direct Energy<\/a><\/strong> plans. For example, their <strong>Go Green Lights 18<\/strong> plan charges 15.59 cents per kWh. This means a monthly supply charge of about $89.
