Longmeadow Community Electricity is a program offered by the Town to provide residents and businesses more electricity supply options and more renewable energy. The program is a Town-vetted alternative to Eversource’s default supply and other third party electricity suppliers.
If you do not receive a letter, you will not be automatically enrolled. You may join the program by submitting a request to enroll here.
More Ways to Save! In addition to the supply options through the program, discounts are available for low income customers and customers with heat pumps. Learn more below.

Customers eligible for automatic enrollment in Longmeadow Community Electricity will be mailed this notification letter. If you receive the letter, you are slated to be enrolled in Longmeadow Standard (13.471 ¢/kWh) as of the August meter read. No action is necessary to receive this price. If you are enrolled, you may always leave the program at any time, without penalty.
Participants in the program will automatically receive Longmeadow Standard, the community default, unless they chose one of the other optional products. To choose a different product, click here.
Future savings cannot be guaranteed. The additional Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) qualify for MA Class I designation and come only from solar, wind, anaerobic digestion and low impact hydro. RECs are the accepted legal instrument used to track renewable energy generation and to substantiate claims of renewable energy use. Learn more about the product details and renewable energy content here.
Please note: If you are a new medium, large or very large business customer, and opt out of the program, the supplier has the option to offer a market price if you enroll in the future. Market prices will be offered by the electricity supplier in writing, and you will not be enrolled in that price unless you affirmatively accept.
