Boston businesses are part of the ISO-NE territory. ISO-NE manages wholesale electricity markets and system reliability. What happens in the wholesale market — capacity auctions, fuel costs, weather events — flows through to retail commercial rates. A broker tracks those conditions and advises on timing.

Current all-in commercial rates in Boston typically range 16–24 cents/kWh supply depending on load size, contract term, and market timing. Larger loads generally get more aggressive pricing because suppliers compete harder for them.
