Waltham Community Electricity Program

Waltham Community Electricity (WCE) is a program offered by the city of Waltham to provide new electricity supply options and more renewable energy to Waltham residents and businesses. Waltham Community Electricity launched in May 2021. Waltham Community Electricity is the only electricity program offered by the City – beware of look-alike offers and always look for the City seal on materials sent to you!

More Ways to Save! In addition to the supply options through the program, discounts are available for low income customers and customers with heat pumps. Learn more below.

The Waltham Community Electricity program has been renewed, with new prices for the period December 2025 until December 2029. Current participants do not need to take any action to remain in the program and receive the new pricing. Please be on the lookout for a notification letter arriving early November. 

Program Options Starting December 2025

Future savings cannot be guaranteed. Waltham Community Electricity has a standard product, called Waltham Standard, which has more renewable energy certificates (MA Class I RECs) than required by MA. Participants in the program receive Waltham Standard unless they affirmatively choose one of the other electricity products.

Most residents and businesses in Waltham already participate in the Waltham Community Electricity program. Check your electricity bill to see if you’re one of them: In the Supply Services section, the Supplier should be listed as City of Waltham WCE (Dynegy) if you’re a program participant. 

The program will periodically send Customer Notification Letters to new or newly eligible electricity customers, which includes the program details, information about product prices, and renewable energy. Customers who receive this letter and choose to participate will be automatically enrolled. To enroll sooner, use the online forms.

How It Works

Most residents and businesses in Waltham already participate in the Waltham Community Electricity program. Check your electricity bill to see if you’re one of them: the Supplier should be listed as City of Waltham WCE (Dynegy). If Eversource is still listed as your supplier, you may complete the enrollment form to sign up for WCE. If a different supplier is listed, contact that supplier to check for penalties or termination fees that they may charge before you join the Waltham Community Electricity program.

Participation in the WCE program is voluntary: you can leave the program at any time without fee or penalty.

The program will periodically send Customer Notification letters to new or newly eligible electricity customers, which includes the program details, information about product prices, and renewable energy certificates. Customers who receive this letter and do not choose to opt out will be automatically enrolled. To enroll sooner, use our online forms.
