There are a lot of scams related to this, so would suggest starting with government websites to make sure you're getting good information: https://www.energyswitchma.gov/#/

Some municipalities (Cambridge, Boston, etc) offer community rates and those are generally your best option. In addition to a better rate, the rate itself is locked in for extended periods, buying you a little time from Eversource's price increase.

The commercial providers usually don't have as much of a discount if any, and some of them will increase the rate on your after an introductory price while locking you into a contract you can't cancel.

I would also add that the community choice options for municipalities often defaults you to a mix of renewable and traditional energy. If you are really struggling financially try switching to the community choice basic plan. It’s not a huge difference but every bit helps!

Thank you!

Like I said I literally just learned it could be switched and when looking found about a dozen different Links. Thanks for the heads up on the scams I'll definitely be more discerning on my decision.
