How Community Power Works
Hopkinton Community Power combines the buying power of residents and businesses so that together we can achieve competitively priced electricity.
-
In advance of the launch of Hopkinton Community Power, all customers within the Town will be mailed a notice containing information about their electricity rates and energy supply choice options.
-
The Town is hosting a public information session to answer questions about the program at 6PM on August 21st at Hopkinton Town Hall, 3330 Main St, Hopkinton, NH 03229
-
All customers have until September 25th - when Hopkinton Community Power launches! - to consider whether you opt-out, opt-in, or opt-up to choose a cleaner power option:
-
Most customers currently on Eversource or Unitil default supply service do not have to take any action to benefit from our lower electricity rates; unless they choose to opt-out of the program, Hopkinton Community Power will begin serving them on the date that their utility reads their meter on or after October 1, 2024
-
Select customer groups are not eligible for automatic enrollment (Exceptions to Automatic Enrollment listed below) but may choose to opt-in.
-
-
After the launch of Hopkinton Community Power, customers are always free to choose to buy power from their utility, or from another market option, by submitting notice in advance of their next utility meter read date.
By accessing the power market, we can control price volatility and choose which energy sources to buy or build.

Hopkinton Community Power provides electricity purchased by CPCNH with a variety of renewable content options.

Eversource or Unitil delivers the electricity using the same power line infrastructure and billing mechanisms.
Community
Hopkinton Energy Customers save money and have the power to choose new rates and products, and how much electricity comes from renewable sources.
Electricity markets are changing. Customers are generating their own power and adopting new technologies that add value to our energy portfolio.
Hopkinton Community Power will harness that value, and empower customers to create a more innovative and cost-effective energy future.
