Reply to Aria Banquet Hall, Prospect CT by BiscottiMean5265

We had our wedding there last year and even in the winter it was amazing. We had Rico as a DJ and photo/video. People that went still talk about how awesome it was. Staff was great and everyone enjoyed the food too

That’s the supply rate. Not delivery.

Edit:

User ghost edited. His current statement is nothing like it was, and now is completely irrelevant to the conversation. The AG’s statement he is now linking to also doesn’t say what he thinks it does. All it says is that electricity in CT is expensive. Nobody was arguing that.

/u/Kolzig32189 should be concerned with splitting between supply and delivery, since one is ES and the other is a pass through rate. There is no point to this entire thread of the conversation that he’s replying to if we aren’t concerned with what is what.

Reply to Eversource and Electric Vehicles by Confident-Swim-191

I have two EVs (Tesla model 3 and Y), and my house is all electric (geothermal, induction, heat pump water heater). I was lucky and managed the switch to Constellation before their rates went up significantly. My last bill was around $600 (which still beats the heck out of what I was paying for oil, gasoline, and electric for the house). Given, last year, my Jan bill was closer to 1k. It has been so mild this winter that I haven't even run aux heat to keep my house warm.

For my EV, I use around 400 kWh per month to keep it charged up. If you're on Eversource's new rates, you would pay $140 to charge the car to drive around 1100 miles. Pretty on par with an efficient gas car (30 mpg average). If you were going EV, I'd urge you to consider getting solar. I don't pay anything for over half the year.

I’m not really concerned with splitting between supply and deliver here, my original statement was cost to consumer. See below link. That is a massive increase that our own AG disagrees with them having any reason for doing.

No one was arguing with you on the delivery side. But the delivery side is irrelevant to OP’s question.

If you want an argument on the delivery side though, delivery increases have been below the inflation rate for years. They certainly have not tripled. As someone else pointed out, they’ve increased under 16% in 6 years. I haven’t checked his math but if you have better info, let us know.

Eversource delivery rates have slowly grown over the years but absolutely have not tripled. https://www.eversource.com/content/residential/account-billing/manage-bill/about-your-bill/rates-tariffs/electric-delivery-rates/electric-delivery-rates-archive

My current bill for rate 1 is 10.224cents / kwh. Rates in May of 2017 were 8.711 cents / kwh.

Thats a 17.4% increase in almost 5.5 years.

I’m a junior CT attorney currently working as a clerk. Management of younger attorneys at law firms can be very very inconsistent at every stage of a legal issue. Better to start with legal aid.
