UI Electricity Rates Rising, Switch Before January 1, 2020<\/h2>\n

With the shoulder months officially over, many Bridgeport residents are getting ready for the winter chill. While the EIA predicted that this year\u2019s winter energy bills may be lower than last year\u2019s<\/a>, local United Illuminating (UI) customers may not be so lucky since their residential default service rate is increasing by 25%<\/a> from 8.35\u00a2\/kWh to 10.5607\u00a2\/kWh. If you have an average monthly usage<\/a> of 724 kWh, then your Bridgeport\u00a0 electric bill could rise by $16 in generation charges alone (from about $60 to $76). Add this to an estimated UI delivery charge<\/a> of about $32.92 and you\u2019re talking big winter energy bills.<\/p>\n

But you can save yourself some money and protect your budget by switching to a low-cost 12-month fixed-rate plan now! Check out Bridgeport’s best money-saving CT electric rates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The plan is also tied to the Public Power\u2019s Power Perks<\/strong><\/a>rewards program that offers savings at popular retailers as well as referral bonuses<\/a>.<\/p>\n
