Vol. 35, No.14 -FREEwww.advocatenews.net Free Every Friday 781-286-8500 Friday, April 4, 2025 Mayor introduces Revere Power Choice: competitive pricing to cut electricity costs for residents Direct Energy to offer 30 months of stable electricity prices starting June 2025 Special to Th e Advocate M ayor Patrick M. Keefe, Jr. and the City of Revere are pleased to announce the June launch of Revere Power Choice, a new group electricity buying program for residents and businesses. Participants in Revere Power Choice will have Direct Energy as their electricity supplier and will enjoy 30 months of stable electricity supply prices. The City of Revere joins more than 200 other Massachusetts cities and towns with similar programs, including the nearby cities of Boston, Chelsea and Malden. “Introducing a stable, lowerpriced option to the electricity market in Revere immediately lowers costs for residents, and leads the way for competitive pricing in the future. I look forward to participating and seeing cumulative savings on my electrical bills in the coming months,” said Mayor Keefe. Revere Power Choice participants will automatically receive a stable price of 13.760¢/ kWh for 30 months, which will provide savings at launch of about $4 per month for an average residential household, though future savings cannot be guaranteed. Participants in Revere Power Choice can also choose to receive 80% of their electricity from renewable sources for 14.200¢/kWh, or to receive 100% of their electricity from renewable sources for 15.050¢/kWh. Electricity sold in Massachusetts automatically includes 63% from renewable sources. National Grid remains responsible for delivering electricity to Revere, addressing power outages and handling all electricity billing. Revere Power Choice impacts only the electricity supply price on the bill. National Grid’s delivery charges are not impacted.
