How Connecticut Deregulated Energy Works for Business
Connecticut restructured its electric market in 1998. Eversource and United Illuminating still deliver power and maintain the physical grid. The generation supply charge is open to competition from licensed retail suppliers.
We begin by pulling your historical usage through a signed Letter of Authorization and auditing your current bill. Then we request fixed-rate bids from 30+ licensed suppliers, normalize all pass-throughs, and present the lowest true cost per kWh. You choose the term, the supplier handles the switch, and the new rate appears on your next Eversource or UI bill.
