IMPORTANT UPDATE:
We are pleased to announce that the Town of Oxford has renewed its Community Electricity Aggregation program. The program will be renewed with a new power supplier, NextEra Energy Services. The seamless transition of electricity supply from Public Power to NextEra Energy Services will take place with your January 2020 meter reading and extend through December 2022 for a total of 36 months. The current rate with Public Power will be reduced from 10.430 cents to 10.316 cents/kilowatt hour. This rate will remain fixed and not change during the 36-month period. Your February National Grid bill for January service will reflect this change. No action is required to participate if you are already enrolled in the existing Oxford program.
The Town of Oxford launched the Oxford Community Electricity Aggregation program for residents and businesses in July 2017. The primary goals of the program are to provide a cost-effective, stable and responsible alternative to utility electricity rates for participating consumers. The program was approved by the Board of Selectmen and the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities.
Below, please see the current electricity rate and the new electricity rate beginning in January 2020 for the Oxford Community Electricity Aggregation program.

Disclaimer: A goal of the aggregation program is to produce savings for customers, but savings cannot be guaranteed compared to the utility’s basic service rate which changes every six months for Residential and Small Commercial customers and every three months for Large Commercial customers. The aggregation program seeks to provide price stability and average savings over the full term of the program, but because future basic service rates are not known, there is no guarantee of savings.
