Energy Choice

The Energy Choice Program gives both residential and business customers the power to choose their natural gas supplier. By enrolling in Energy Choice, you may be able to benefit from competition among gas suppliers.

An Energy Choice supplier sells natural gas supply at a competitive price. National Grid will still:

  • transport the natural gas from the supplier to you;
  • maintain our local gas distribution network;
  • be available 24 hours a day to respond to gas safety emergencies as always
     

Enrollment in this program is absolutely free.

You may get started in the Energy Choice Program by selecting a supplier from the list on this Web site. These companies have met the qualifications set by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities and National Grid. Potential savings will depend on your contracted price of gas from the supplier and the amount and pattern of your gas usage. Make sure you shop around for the best price.

If you buy gas from an Energy Choice supplier, the way you are billed will depend upon which company you have chosen. Some suppliers have their charges included on your National Grid bill. Others will send you separate bills for the gas you use. In either case, you will continue to receive a bill from National Grid for delivering the gas, metering, and other services and taxes that we are required by law to collect.

As a courtesy to our customers, we have provided Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities’ list of authorized suppliers.
