Overview

Malden Community Electricity is a program in development by the City to provide residents and businesses more electricity supply options and more renewable energy. The program is a City-vetted alternative to National Grid’s default supply and other third party electricity suppliers.

Customers eligible for automatic enrollment in Malden Community Electricity will be mailed this notification letter in early April 2024. If you receive the letter, you are slated to be enrolled in Malden Standard (13.758 ¢/kWh) as of the June 2024 meter read. No action is necessary to receive this price. If you are enrolled, you may always leave the program at any time, without penalty.

The City of Malden will hold public informational meetings on Malden’s new Community Electricity Program. Interested in attending? There will be several options:

Future savings cannot be guaranteed. 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.

If you do not receive a letter, you will not be automatically enrolled. You may join the Program by submitting a request to enroll here.
