How It Works
Narragansett Community Electricity is a municipal electricity aggregation, operated by the Town of Narragansett, and authorized by R.I. Gen. Laws § 39-3-1.2.
There are two parts to your Rhode Island Energy electricity bill, (1) Supply Services, and (2) Delivery Services.

If you participate in Narragansett Community Electricity:
-
- The utility, Rhode Island Energy, will continue to provide all Delivery Services, which includes responding to power outages. You will continue to receive your electricity bill from Rhode Island Energy.
-
- The Supply Services portion of the Rhode Island Energy bill will change to reflect your participation in Narragansett’s program.
-
- Customers in the Low-Income Rate Class (A60) will continue to receive their current percentage discount on the entire electricity bill.
-
- Budget billing customers will continue to receive budget billing for the Delivery Services portion of the bill.
-
- Customers that receive solar electricity benefits from net metering credits and/or Renewable Energy Growth Program payments will continue to receive those benefits.
-
- You may leave the Program or switch to a different program option at any time, without penalty.
