“””Eversource is looking to increase the Standard Service Rate for residential customers who receive their energy supply from Eversource from 12.1 cents per kilowatt-hour to 24.2 cents per kWh, compared to 11.5 cents per kWh last winter,”””
Connecticut is getting close to paying as much as Europe for electricity.
On the otherhand, here is a list of the charges on my monthly Florida electric bill:
First 1000 kwh usage is 10.86 cents per kwh
Over 1000 kwh usage is 12.86 cents per kwh
Then the following charges and fees are added that push the total cost to 14.7 cents per kwh
1. Base charge
2. Gross receipts tax
3. Regulatory fee
4. Franchise charge
5. Utility tax
6. Surge shield program
7. Sales Tax
8. Discretionary sales tax surcharge
When you add in the miscellaneous charges, Connecticut households will be paying close to 40 cents per KWH.
I am expecting our all-in charges will be about 18 cents per KWH beginning in Jan 2023.
In Florida too .. I pay a basic meter charge on two accounts so $42 a month. The solar does the rest. This year only paid for for about $30 of true kwH energy.
