Re: [House&Home] Electric bill arrived and it looks great! Do they force you to go with a standard rate or can you use a rate-time plan? I did the math for switching from UI to any other provider some 1 year ago and it was always more than the "net" I'm paying (I use most energy off-peak). |

| The Con-Ed rate is a flat $0.1049 per KWH. If your off peak rate is less, and you use most of your energy off peak, it won't work for you.
What is the on and off peak rate for UI?

Con-Ed only makes sense for CL&P customers, for UI it looks like Levco (which I think is now Dominion) makes the most sense.
Thanks for the information!

Contract terms ending on Feb 28 ,2010 11.50
Why would they offer me a rate of 11.50 when others are getting 10.49?
You can choose the type of electricity you purchase and the price structure.
Fixed Price Options
ConEdison Solutions' fixed price for the supply portion of your electricity bill is guaranteed
for the term of your agreement. Selecting a fixed price eliminates the risk of price
volatility and may allow you to better plan your expenses.
With Direct Energy it is 331.00kwh x 0.129900
Should I switch...it seems like the 11.5 is cheaper then the rate I am paying with Direct Energy? I have trouble reading these darn things.
Just got off the phone with Levco and they offered me 10.49..if I heard correctly. They are sending me the form so I can switch.
More news. I just checked out Public Power & Utility Inc. here:
»www.ppandu.com/esg/
Top of the page...they are offering 10.48
Price: Customer will receive electricity from Public Power & Utility, Inc at a floating generation rate. PP&U customers agree and understand that any potential savings will fluctuate with month-to-month market conditions. PP&U customers will maintain a not to exceed price of at least 5% below current CL&P or UI standard generation service rates. See home page for current rates. |

| I think Co-Ed is offering .1049 for CL&P customers and .1150 for UI customers, based on what has been discovered in this thread.
If Levco / Dominion is matching the .1049 rate, go for it!

If Levco / Dominion is matching the .1049 rate, go for it! I have CL&P and I am just getting around to going to the on-line form. Con-Ed is offering 11.5, my current rate is $0.122170. So, there is still a small savings.
Question....Do the Con-Ed charges appear on the same bill as the CL&P charges? |

| If Con-Ed is offering $.115 it would be better to call Levco and see if they will match $.1049. The Con-Ed charges appear on my CL&P bill with the CL&P charges.
If Con-Ed were offering only $.1150 then I'd go for another provider. If Levco won't match $.1049, try »www.ppandu.com/esg/ they claim to provide at $.1048. I am less familiar with them, but another poster in this thread seems to report favorably about them (see post by Sky King).
The $.1049 rate has had a significant impact on my electric bill. I don't think $.1150 would make much of a change.
