Eversource seems to do alright here but head over to r/Connecticut; a common hatred of Eversource seems to be the only thing that unifies the left and right

>She had to pay her bills, once.

Or maybe they just have issues with the company making record profits while charging outrageous costs?

I don't have an issue with paying a bill to use a product and service.

I do have a problem with aforementioned though.

To give an example, my highest electrical use is always for my August bill.

My supply cost was $72, my delivery cost was $103.

Here's an even more egregious example. I don't use much natural gas in the summer.

This past July I paid $9 for supply but fucking $22 for delivery.

I'm on budget billing, and this year they set me at $133 a month gas, $186 electric. That's $319 a month to power a single family, 1200sq ft home, with one occupant.

Now, feel free to call me a dirty commie, but I don't think a utility company should be a for profit and publicly traded business.

Have you had mass save come through to look at your energy efficiency? Those bills sound high. More than I pay for 3 people in about 2k sq ft.

I'm not fully in the loop but if I recall correct they basically didnt use money they were given to do storm prep in CT and then when a big storm came thru, portions of the state were out of power for weeks. Eversource used it as a bargaining chip when they could have and should have been more prepared with storm response teams.

Source with more and better info than my memory can provide.

For me, it's the constant power outage. Power goes out on my street at least 2 times a month in Dorchester. Never used to have this issue under National Grid.

That’s unacceptable. I would DM them on Twitter.
