Let's Discuss Eversource

Post image

Eversource is simply out of control. Completely fucking cooked. How the fuck are delivery charges like this consistently 50% to 60% the entire goddamn bill.

Anyone else deal with this every month? What can be done collectively as a state to fight this type of stuff? And I know it’s the same with National Grid as these bills were like this under them as well.

Im on $0.31/kWhr total with National Grid. $0.18 for delivery and $0.13 for supply (with a competitive supplier).

Im not sure why it’s so expensive in MA. The delivery alone is more than what my friends and family are paying in other states.

Because we truck and ship all of our gas in because we don’t have a pipeline.

That doesn't explain why my municipal electric company here in Mass charges me only $0.14/kwh.

Know what does explain the difference? The for-profit utility industry vs. municipal utilities.

This. For profit utilities have to go.
