Why Massachusetts Businesses Use Energy Brokers

Massachusetts passed Electric Utility Restructuring Act (1997), opening the commercial electricity market to retail competition. Today, Eversource MA, National Grid MA, Unitil deliver power through wires they own — but you choose the company that generates and prices that electricity. That's a retail energy supplier (REP), and there are 40+ competing for your business.

Massachusetts deregulated in 1997 under the Electric Utility Restructuring Act

The grid operator — ISO-NE — runs the wholesale market where suppliers buy power in bulk. What they pay in that market, plus their margin and your delivery charges, determines your all-in rate. A broker's job is to know which suppliers are pricing aggressively at any given moment and lock that in before the window closes.

Understanding Your Massachusetts Electricity Bill

Eversource MA, National Grid MA, Unitil, and Liberty Utilities are the main utilities

Your utility (Eversource MA, National Grid MA, Unitil) handles physical delivery and emergency response regardless of which supplier you choose. Eversource MA (formerly NSTAR + WMECo) serves most of the state; National Grid MA serves central MA; Unitil and Liberty serve smaller territories The supply charge — typically the largest line item on commercial bills — is where your choice matters. Delivery and transmission charges are regulated and fixed by the state PUC.

Supplier Options in the Massachusetts Market

We run a structured quote process: pull your usage history (12 months minimum), identify your load profile and peak demand pattern, then submit to 30+ suppliers simultaneously. Suppliers compete. You get multiple offers within 24–48 hours with our plain-English translation of each.

We don't represent any single supplier. Our fee comes from the supplier you choose — standard in the industry and priced into every quote regardless of whether you use a broker. You pay nothing out of pocket and get a competitive process you wouldn't have time to run yourself.

Fixed, Variable, and Indexed Contracts in Massachusetts

Three main structures exist in Massachusetts:

• Fixed-rate: Set price per kWh for the contract term (typically 12–36 months). Best for businesses that need budget certainty. Typical Massachusetts range: 14–22 cents/kWh.
• Variable-rate: Floats with the wholesale market monthly. Can save money in low-price periods, but exposes you to spikes. Generally not recommended for most commercial accounts without a hedge strategy.
• Indexed contracts: Priced against a published index (Day-Ahead, NYMEX) plus a fixed adder. Transparent pricing, but requires understanding what you're tracking.
