Massachusetts splits almost evenly between two utilities: Eversource MA delivers power in Boston, Springfield, Cambridge and Newton, while National Grid covers Worcester, Lowell, Brockton and Quincy. Every one of those cities sits in a deregulated market, so you can shop for your own electricity supplier no matter which utility owns the wires. Gas follows a similar but not identical split.

From our address-level sampling of 1 Massachusetts city (2026-07-20). "Most common in" counts the cities where that provider was the leading answer.
| Utility | Provider | Most common in |
|---|---|---|
| ⚡ Electricity | Eversource MA | Boston |
| 🔥 Natural gas | Eversource Energy (NSTAR Electric), National Grid (Massachusetts Electric) | Boston |
Eversource and National Grid split electric delivery across the cities we've sampled roughly down the middle: Eversource covers Boston, Springfield, Cambridge and Newton; National Grid covers Worcester, Lowell, Brockton and Quincy. Gas doesn't follow the identical map — Eversource delivers gas in Worcester, Springfield, Cambridge and Brockton, which means a Worcester address can have National Grid electric and Eversource gas at the same time.
Whichever utility owns your wires, Massachusetts runs a full retail electric choice market — every city in our sample is flagged deregulated, so you're free to shop for a competitive electricity supplier while the delivery utility keeps the poles running either way. Water is handled by individual city and town departments our sampling doesn't yet have confident data on.
City-by-city breakdowns of who provides electricity, gas, water and sewer:
It depends on your city. Eversource delivers electricity in Boston, Springfield, Cambridge and Newton; National Grid delivers it in Worcester, Lowell, Brockton and Quincy. Both are delivery utilities only — you can still shop for your own electricity supplier on top of either one.
Yes — every city we've sampled sits in Massachusetts's deregulated retail electric market. Eversource or National Grid delivers the power and keeps the lines running regardless of who supplies it, but you're free to shop around for the company that actually generates and sells you the electricity.
Not necessarily. Worcester, for example, has National Grid for electric but Eversource for gas in our sampled data. Don't assume the two match — confirm each service separately with the lookup for your specific address.
Water and sewer run through individual city and town departments rather than Eversource or National Grid, and we don't yet have confident sampled data on it for these cities. Check the lookup for what applies at your specific address.
