Least expensive Competitive Supplier for electric bill?
What other offers are the least expensive for the Competitive Supplier lines/box/field on an electric bill?... besides ConEdison Solutions and ThinkEnergy.
Regardless of Price
You should just keep going with whoever had the monopoly before. Because monopolies are evil, but less evil that people who trick their way into buildings with clipboards where no soliciting is allowed.
The Eversource gambit isn't looking good.
When sleazy NStar did that brand makeover, their system support swirled down the porcelain bowl. The real problem is an aging gas and electric infrastructure and they are sandbagging it while doing superficial corporate structure changes.
This happened with NStar, and Boston Edison, too
The transformer next door to me used to regularly blow up on hot summer days, making alarming gunshot-like noises for about 30 seconds as the lights flickered off and on. Finally they replaced it with something more reliable.
NStar is Eversource
It's a financial dodge. The absorbed another smaller power company out near Springfield and jacked their rates,
I had to work with them right on the day of the change over and it took the idiots forever to set up the work ticket with several layers of clueless supervisors, long interludes on hold and utter confusion as to what to do.
I had a service strike damaged by winter ice and it was dangling over a walkway in a commercial building.
The line guys were fine. The rank and file always are but the supervisor and handler layer sux.
