Electricity rates are rising. Even Eversource PTC electric rates may rise this winter. Don’t wait! Shop these long term plans and lock in great savings now!<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Shop for Best Electricity per kWh<\/h2>\n

Right now, Eversource customers are paying low supply rates for electricity. But these rates end this year and we could be facing high electricity bills<\/a> this coming winter. This is especially true when you consider natural gas shortages<\/a> and that nearly half of CT’s generators use natural gas for fuel. That’s why now is the perfect time to watch these long term electric rates.<\/p>\n

Compare Eversource Electricity Rates<\/h3>\n

The best way to know if you are getting the best price is to check out the Eversource\u00a0Price to Compare<\/a> (PTC) rate.\u00a0The current PTC is\u00a0 7.003 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This means that the average CT electric customer<\/a> pays about $48.25 in monthly supply charges.<\/p>\n

While we don’t know what those rates will become on January 1, 2022, we can make a reasonable guess. Many plans have higher rates today than they did back in July, so it’s possible that rates will rise even higher. In addition, Eversource’s winter electric rates are usually higher than their spring rates. In other words, customers that wait might end up with worst options down the line.<\/p>\n

As a result, price stability is the biggest reason to consider long-term electricity rates<\/a>.\u00a0 Both 24 and 36 month long plans offer customers fixed rates for the duration of their contract. That’s a lot more stable pricing for 2 to 3 years versus the 2 to 3 months left with Eversource’s current PTC rate.<\/p>\n
