Tax Receipts - 1 of 2: Check your electric bill

Most people in your community electricity program are enrolled in the Standard option automatically, and are therefore eligible for a tax receipt (since the Standard option includes more renewable energy than required by law). We'll show you how to find out if you're enrolled, then how to get your tax receipt by email.

To get started, you need a recent National Grid electric bill (online or in print) for each property where you pay for electricity in eligible communities. A sample of page 2 of a bill is provided on this page to help you follow the steps.

Get Started:

Electric Bill - NG pg 1

1. Find the "Electricity Supply" section under Supply Services (outlined in red box on sample, typically on Page 2 of bill). Verify that your community's name appears near the supplier name for each eligible property (top red arrow. Our sample shows a Melrose bill. Your electricity supplier may not match what is shown, but that's ok).

2. Verify that your community's Standard option rate appears in the cost equation (red arrow 2).

3. If your community program & Standard rate appear in this section, you are eligible to claim your payments for renewable energy as charitable contributions. Click below to calculate your tax deduction.
