Goes well this Providence moving forward with an electric supply aggregation program that opts people in and has a lower base rate than RI Energy.

Sorry: what?

For anyone in Providence, they're moving to an aggregate electric supply situation. The rates for April to September, under that program, are:
if you stick with RI Energy, the rate is is 9.71 ¢/kWh
"Providence Basic:" 9.151 ¢/kWh
"Providence Standard (automatic)": 9.361 ¢/kWh
"Providence 50": 10.222 ¢/kWh
"Providence 100": 12.321 ¢/kWh

Thank god. I was going to be pretty angry if they tried to keep those inflated rates now that natural gas has come back down from the peak

Is that without the distribution rate?

10.67cents

its still high compared to previous summers. Last summer it was 7.810/kwh, so this proposed rate of 10.675/kwh is a 36% increase over last year. Higher than the winter 2021 rate.
GotenRocko t1_jantz58 wrote
correct, that is just supply. 36% increase over last year's rate.

That's the new game with utilities. Over Inflate and settle back significantly higher than if you tried to bump the rate up, then it won't "feel" as bad for people. It's win/win for them.

If you want. You have to opt in.

How does that game work when the utility is not allowed to earn a profit on generation? Asking for a friend.

They usually lower them in the spring/summer. They often raise them in the fall/winter.

Thank goodness. I saw new electricity rates and thought they were going up again.

I thought we were paying $0.23 /kWh?

We are paying .29
17c supply And 10 delivery plus other fees. The delivery stays the same but the supply went down to 10.67 instead of 17.78

Thanks! Appreciate you.
$0.07 savings is still so great. Unreal that it’ll be .30 sooner than later, though.

My bill was $66 for the gas and $121 for the service. PPL sucks.

For anyone that was curious, the first column is the residential rate, so 10.675 cents per kWh
