Competitive electric and gas supply in Cambridge.

Massachusetts has retail choice on both fuels. Municipal aggregation is widespread, which means the price a competitive offer has to beat is not always the utility default.

Dates and thresholds change. We confirm the current requirement for your specific building before anyone acts on it.

What energy supply is, and why it is the line you can move.

Your utility bill has two halves. Delivery is the wires, pipes and meters, and it always stays with the local utility. Supply is the electricity or natural gas itself. In a competitive market the supply half can be bought from a licensed supplier instead of taken at the utility’s default price, and the utility keeps delivering and, in most arrangements, keeps sending one bill. Nothing physical changes. What changes is who sets the price of the energy and on what terms.

Both fuels can be shopped in Massachusetts, and because we already assemble whole-building usage for the reporting obligations, a supply review costs you very little additional effort.

The local subtlety is aggregation. Many communities buy on behalf of their residents and businesses, and that price is the real benchmark. We establish what you are actually paying, put licensed suppliers in competition on matched terms, and read the contract language before anyone signs.

Default supply and automatic rollovers are where buildings overpay.

A contract that rolls to a variable rate, a rate class that no longer matches how the building operates, or a bill nobody has audited in five years. None of these announce themselves, and all of them are recoverable.

We are paid by the supplier on procurement and we will show you the numbers, which is a question worth asking any broker who will not.

What a BEUDO letter usually means.

Cambridge letters tend to be about structure and dates rather than fines.

Send us the letter itself, not a summary. We read it for the six things that decide the response: who sent it, which building and identifier it names, what period it covers, what it says you failed to do, the cure date, and whether it is a first notice or an escalation. We never quote a running penalty total, and we cure first, then talk to the regulator.
