Client: GreenRoots

Authors: Bryndis Woods, Sagal Alisalad, and Hannah Brown

November 2019

Researcher Bryndis Woods, Assistant Researcher Sagal Alisalad, and Research Assistant Hannah Brown present the cost and emission savings of different designs for Community Choice Energy (CCE) programs in the City of Chelsea, Massachusetts as compared to electricity purchased from the default utility. This policy brief concludes that all types of CCE programs save residents money on their electric bills, and that Chelsea has the potential to reduce its emissions by an additional 34 percent by 2030 if it chooses to pursue a CCE program that mandates 25 percent more renewable energy than Massachusetts law.
