The Narragansett Community Electricity program is announcing new Summer electricity supply prices to go into effect beginning with the May 2025 meter read. Prices will be substantially decreasing, from 16.287 this past winter down to 10.014 cents/kWh for the Town’s default electricity option. The new prices will be fixed for six months through customers’ November 2025 meter read. 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.
This May, Narragansett Community Electricity will have served the community for two years. The Town is pleased to have delivered on the program’s goals of offering residents and businesses cleaner electricity, at affordable prices.
Most participants in Narragansett’s program use “Narragansett Standard” which provides more renewable energy than RI Energy’s Last Resort Service and will still provide cost savings this Summer. The additional renewable energy is sourced entirely from local Rhode Island projects, including the Narragansett Bay Commission wind turbines at Fields Point in Providence, solar in West Greenwich and additional wind turbines in Coventry.
The Last Resort Service Rate above reflects the total rate as filed by Rhode Island Energy in dockets PUC 25-03-EL and the rate has not yet been approved by the PUC as of March 17, 2025. The Narragansett Community Electricity Program cannot guarantee savings compared to Rhode Island Energy Last Resort Service for the duration of the Program pricing because future Last Resort Service prices are unknown.
Narragansett is part of a group of seven municipalities who shared in launching the first municipal aggregation programs in Rhode Island. Barrington, Central Falls, Narragansett, Newport, Providence, and South Kingstown are all working with Good Energy as their consultant and share a common electricity supplier and pricing.
The voluntary renewable energy content in the program’s standard and optional products comes from projects that qualify as RI New and makes a sizable impact on the Town’s carbon footprint. Narragansett participants annually purchase more than 2,847 megawatt-hours of voluntary renewable energy, equivalent to displacing over 2,000,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.
