In Quincy - also shocked by my $327 electric bill this month at 0.33891 too… definitely looking for advice on switching or who to switch to until Quincy can get their collective community electricity up and going.

The guy who handles our town getting back on the program just told me there's a list and we're about a year and a half down on the list. I'm in the Merrimack Valley, hopefully you're higher on the list. I'm thinking Inspire or Townsquare, neither have cancellation fees.

I just pick the lowest-cost 100% renewable option that doesn't have a cancellation fee. If you don't care about 100% renewable, your cost would likely be lower. Keep track of when the contract runs out (I set a reminder in my phone). Before the contract ends, or earlier if I think of it, I go back to the site and see what the current lowest rate is, and sign up with that supplier.

Is Quincy getting municipal electricity? I thought we were getting municipal ISP and we were putting in a small power plant just to run that

No, just pooling all Quincy residents together and having electricity suppliers bid for our business which will drive down the price for us type of program. You can elect to opt out once it launches and select your own supplier though.
