PowerOptions is the largest energy buying consortium in New England, with more than 500 members across Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island, purchasing $200 million in energy through our programs each year. We are experts in leveraging the size of the consortium to negotiate extremely favorable contract terms and conditions. All of our programs derive from a robust competitive RFP process, and over our 25 years, every procurement has resulted in multiple bidders vying to serve the consortium.

Our members secure a guaranteed competitive price with PowerOptions energy supply programs, and more importantly benefit from the strongest contract in the market, with terms and conditions simply unattainable for organizations on their own—a price is only as good as the contract that supports it. Our contract guards against added costs, usage penalties and supplier non-performance. Plus members get a team of energy experts available to address any energy question. We keep them informed about changes in the market that may impact energy prices and advocate on their behalf on issues of cost and reliability. Join the more than 500 nonprofits and public entities already benefiting from PowerOptions.
