Gloucester Community Electricity Aggregation

Gloucester Community Electricity Aggregation (CEA) is a program offered by the city of Gloucester to provide residents and businesses with, City-vetted options for electricity supply. 

Gloucester CEA is the only electricity program offered by our city – beware of look-alike offers and always look for the city seal on materials sent to you!

Customers that were active in Gloucester’s program as of Dec 2024 will receive a one-time credit on an upcoming National Grid electricity bill (Nov or Dec 2025). See here for details.

Program Options

Are you participating in the program? Check your electricity bill to see if you’re one of them: the Supplier should be listed as Gloucester Community Elec – Dynegy. Join the program or change your option at any time here. Compare costs with our calculator here.

Program Prices December 2024 to December 2027

Future savings compared to National Grid Basic Service cannot be guaranteed because future Basic Service prices change every six months for residential and commercial customers and every three months for industrial customers.

The additional RECs qualify for MA Class I designation and come only from solar, wind, anaerobic digestion and low impact hydro. RECs are the accepted legal instrument used to track renewable energy generation and to substantiate claims of renewable energy use. Learn more about the product details and renewable energy content here.

Please note: Customers that opt-out of the program and then seek to re-join, as well as new medium, large and very large business customers joining the program, may be offered a market price, rather than the program price shown in the table above. Such market price will be offered by the electricity supplier in writing, and you will not be enrolled in that price unless you affirmatively accept. The market price will be based on current  wholesale prices and the supplier’s costs at the time the you seek to enroll, and the price will be fixed for the remainder of the City’s contract with the supplier. At the start of the City’s next supply contract, you will be transferred to the then-current program pricing.
