Central Falls Community Electricity Aggregation is our city’s electricity supply program, launched in May 2023. The Program aims to help our community members manage electricity costs, increase renewable energy use, and reduce carbon pollution.
If you receive a letter from the Program, you are likely a newly eligible customer. The City is excited for you to join! Please contact us if you have any questions.
Our Electricity Options
The Central Falls Community Electricity program has new summer electricity supply prices that go into effect with the May meter read. The new prices are fixed for six months and will be adjusted in November 2024. Current participants do not need to take any action to remain in the program and receive the new pricing for the product in which they are currently enrolled.
The table below summarizes the program’s residential options. For additional details, or for commercial and industrial pricing, see Electricity Options page here.
