The role of utilities in Worcester

Because the energy market in Worcester is deregulated, energy suppliers and utilities perform different roles. Energy suppliers sell electricity to residential and business customers and handle everything related to accounts and billing. Most importantly, you can choose your supplier in deregulated markets. Utility companies, on the other hand, are based on location, so you can’t choose which one you use. Your local utility delivers power to your home and is responsible for maintaining electrical lines and responding to power outages.

The utility company in Worcester is National Grid (Massachusetts Electric). If you experience a power outage in Worcester, contact National Grid to report the outage or get updates for when it will be resolved.

Price to compare in Worcester, Massachusetts

In some deregulated markets like Worcester, you can choose to buy electricity from your utility or opt for an alternative supplier instead of choosing an electricity provider. If you choose not to sign up for an energy plan, you’ll automatically be enrolled in a plan from National Grid under the utility’s default rate, also known as the Price to Compare (PTC). National Grid’s PTC is publicly shared, so you can use it as a reference point when comparing rates from other suppliers.

The current Price to Compare from National Grid in Worcester is 16.02 cents per kWh for residential customers. This PTC is valid through January 31, 2025.

How to switch providers in Worcester

If you are moving to Worcester, you will need to sign up for a plan with an energy supplier unless you’re comfortable being enrolled in a plan with the utility under the default rate. Because the energy market is competitive, you could find significantly cheaper rates from an alternative provider. If you are currently under contract with a supplier, you may need to pay an early termination fee (ETF) to cancel your service before switching. If you cancel your plan because of an upcoming move, you won’t incur an ETF if you provide proof of your change in address.

Types of plans in Worcester

Picking the right energy plan depends on your individual needs and goals. SaveOnEnergy is here to help you choose the best plan for your home or business. If you’re browsing online, there are a few types of energy plans available in Worcester that you’ll likely come across:

Fixed-rate plans

Fixed-rate plans lock in the electricity rate you’ll pay for a set amount of time. Fixed-rate contracts normally last between 12 and 36 months.

Variable-rate plans

Variable-rate plans do not require a contract and you can switch to another plan at any point without penalty. However, the rate you pay will change based on fluctuations in the energy market.

No-deposit plans

If you want to avoid paying a deposit, you can search for no-deposit plans with SaveOnEnergy. Prepaid electricity plans are a popular type of no-deposit option where you pay for your electricity upfront and top up your account when it runs low.
