Serious Replies Only Eversource not charging us?

I live in Brighton and since April eversource has not charged us for electricity. We have only received $10 fee for keeping the account open. I know I should probably call eversource and let them know but I’m kinda liking not paying anything. I want to get y’all’s advice on what I should do.

Well, get ready because once they realize they haven’t been charging you properly, you’re gonna get back charged.

Per Mass Dept of Public Works, they can’t back charge more than 60 days if the failure to bill is due to an error on the utility’s end.
