It appears the electric rate if you stick with RI Energy 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

The landing page isn't great but here's the letter they sent out.

Edit: PBN has a story on this and there is also a thread, in this subreddit, on that story.

Thanks for digging that up. It’s a better deal out of the gate, at least.

Is anyone at the ProJo looking into how this deal came about? I gather from other outlets that a few RI towns were involved in setting up the CCA program, so it’s not just a Providence thing. But I don’t think anyone has yet touched on how the vendor was chosen, which would be interesting to hear.
