> I am completely against nationalizing/government takeover of utilities, BUT if Eversource is not generating any electrcity, why should we be hostage to their rates? Eversource, as the gas and water company, are laying miles of new supply lines which are very costly, and would account for the "delivery" aspects of our bills. > > These are outrageous rates, and unfortunately we are powerless to do anything about it as our corrupt politicians are in their pockets. Fuck Eversource.

0% of this rate increase is going to Eversource, as the other poster that responded to you mentioned. This increase is 100% on the supply side.
