Reply to comment by Kolzig33189 in Are electric supply rates expected to drop again mid-year? Does a frugal homeowner need to check rates 2x/year to make sure they're getting the best deal? by sadswirlofme

Eversource generation rates are based on whatever contracts they sign. It's a pass through cost because Eversource is not allowed to generate electricity in the state. That was part of the deregulation. That's why generation rate changes are always approved. If Eversource signs better (i.e. cheaper) contracts, their rates are required to go down.

Edit: As shown here, generation rate actually went down for July-December 2021. It does happen, it's just been rare lately.

You're right about delivery charges though. Those will never decrease because they are rapacious pieces of crap out for profit and don't care about their customers.

It’s amazing how people still don’t understand this despite the microscope ES has been under for the last year. And you’re clearly a shill if you point it out.

I'm just surprised my comment hasn't been downvoted into oblivion while calling me an ES fanboy.... :-)
