Stoneham Community Electricity Aggregation program

Stoneham Community Electricity Aggregation (CEA)  is a program offered by the town of Stoneham to provide new electricity supply options and more renewable energy to Stoneham residents and businesses.

Stoneham CEA is the only electricity program offered by the Town – beware of look-alike offers and always look for the Town seal on materials sent to you!

Program Products

The aggregation program for Stoneham has been renewed for an additional term through late fall 2025. New pricing, shown below, will go into effect starting December 2023. The program’s supplier will transition from Constellation to Dynegy.

Most customers do not need to take any action to receive the new pricing. However, due to requirements from the Department of Public Utilities, customers currently in the 50% and 100% Green products must affirmatively re-enroll or their accounts will be returned to Basic Service. You can enroll by contacting the supplier, Dynegy, at (866) 220-5696 or submitting a request through the enroll form below.

Stoneham Community Electricity Prices Until November 2023

Stoneham CEA default product is Stoneham Standard Participants in the program will automatically receive Stoneham Local Green unless they chose one of the other optional products.

Future savings cannot be guaranteed. Products described as Green contain additional Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) above that required by MA law. The additional RECs qualify for MA Class I designation and come only from solar, wind, anaerobic digestion and low impact hydro. Local means 100% of the additional RECs are sourced from New England.

All of the additional RECs included in the program are designated as Massachusetts Class I. RECs are the accepted legal instrument used to track renewable energy generation and to substantiate claims of renewable energy use. Learn more about the RECs that are included on the Renewable Energy page.

Goals of Stoneham’s Community Electricity Aggregation program

How It Works

Stoneham Community Electricity Aggregation program does not replace Eversource as your electric utility: they continue to deliver electricity, repair outages and manage all billing. The program offers alternatives for the Supply portion of your bill. See the Understanding Your Bill section on the Eversource’s website to see the difference between Supply and Delivery sections.

The program is open to electricity customers in Stoneham – whether they are a resident, a business, a renter or an owner. 

The program has voluntary participation and automatic enrollment.

• Voluntary participation: customers can leave the program at any time without penalty.
  
  
• Automatic enrollment for new customers: In Stoneham, most residential and business customers are already enrolled in the program. New customers or newly eligible customers will periodically be sent a Customer Notification Letter notifying them of their choice to participate in the program or leave before it starts (opt out). Customers have 30 days to make a choice and those who do not opt out are automatically enrolled in the program. To enroll sooner, use our online forms.
  

• Opt-in required for some: Those Stoneham residents and businesses who have already chosen an electricity supplier other than Eversource will not receive the Customer Notification Letter, though they can voluntarily opt in to the program at any time. The Department of Public Utilities advises all customers of third party suppliers to check their contract terms as their supplier may charge them a fee or a penalty to leave before the end of their contract with their supplier.
