I was calling about a gas meter replacement not to complain about my bill. They said that they send an email regarding the rate hike so I wouldn’t bother calling just go to www.energizect.com and click on the compare rates tab. You can then review all of the rates and switch providers. The least expensive is Town Square Energy for $.148 which is just about $.10 less expensive than Eversource.

The rate went from $.12 to $.24 on January 1st. Here is what they stated in their January update email…

“As previously communicated, beginning Jan. 1, the Eversource Standard Service supply rate increased. Record high natural gas prices are having the biggest impact on bills, especially here in New England where natural gas is used to generate much of the region’s electricity. A customer using 700 kWh per month will see about a 48% or $84.85 increase to your total bill compared to December's bill. Your total bill impact depends on energy used, your rate, and weather conditions. We know any increase to your bill is challenging and we’re here to help.”
