• Energy supply from either your utility's Default Service or a competitive supplier of your choice

The Independent System Operator of New England (ISO-NE) manages the wholesale market, while the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) oversees rates.

You'll still get one consolidated bill, but you're free to shop around for the best generation rates among licensed suppliers.
