EIA-derived commercial rate data · 06/2026
Massachusetts commercial electricity rates
The average all-in rate and monthly usage for the average Massachusetts commercial account, how retail supplier choice works there, who delivers the power and who regulates it. Market context with its source and date, never a quote.
EIA averages, data through 06/2026. All-in means supply and delivery together; supplier contract quotes cover the supply portion only, so the two are not directly comparable.
Massachusetts commercial electricity at a glance
The average Massachusetts commercial account paid 24.52¢ per kWh all-in, supply and delivery together, versus 14.19¢ nationally (EIA, 06/2026), and used about 4,818 kWh a month (EIA, through 2026). That average mixes corner stores with hospitals, so it is market context rather than a quote for any one business, and supplier contract quotes cover the supply portion only, so the two figures are not directly comparable. Among the 14 states with retail electricity choice, Massachusetts has the 14th lowest all-in commercial average. The regulator is the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities. Voltcheckr LLC is registered as an electricity broker in Texas (PUCT Broker Registration BR260102) and is not currently registered in Massachusetts.
How retail electricity choice works in Massachusetts
Massachusetts businesses served by Eversource, National Grid or Unitil can buy their electricity supply from a competitive supplier, or through a municipal aggregation program their city or town runs, while the utility keeps delivering the power. A business that never chooses stays on the utility's basic service. The DPU registers competitive suppliers and electricity brokers, and a broker attends a DPU training session before it may operate. Towns served by a municipal light plant, such as Taunton and Braintree, are outside the program.

Yes. Massachusetts businesses served by Eversource, National Grid or Unitil can buy their electricity supply from a competitive supplier, or through a municipal aggregation program their city or town runs, while the utility keeps delivering the power.
