FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fall River Community Electricity Aggregation program, launched in January 2016 and part of a 25-
community electricity buying group, has been renewed through the end of 2023
Fall River, MA – (12/21/2020) – The City of Fall River announces that it has renewed its electricity aggregation
program for another 35 months starting in January 2021.
No action is required on the part of the current
program participants as they will continue their electricity service automatically with the new supplier,
Constellation.
The Fall River CEA program is part of a larger electricity purchasing group, providing Fall River residents and
businesses with competitive choice and longer-term price stability. During the first five years of the program,
it has provided significant value to the community.
“We’re very excited that this successful program is entering its sixth year of operation – it has been a great
benefit for our community,” said Mayor Paul Coogan.
The new default program rate is $0.10470 per kilowatt hour (kWh) from January 2021 through December
2023; this default rate meets all state renewable electricity standards. The National Grid Residential Basic
Service electricity rate is $0.12388/kWh for the six month period from November 2020 through April 2021.
In
addition the program also offers two options with more renewable electricity than required by state law.
More information about the program and all the options can be found on the program website
masscea.com/Fall-River.
The program rates, resulting from a competitive bid, are fixed over the 35 months of the electric supply
agreement (ESA) from January 2021 through December 2023. The Fall River CEA product offerings and rates
