Why Get Deregulated Electricity?

Connecticut is one of many states with deregulated electricity. So what exactly is electricity deregulation? Until a few years ago, the electricity market in Connecticut was a monopoly and electric consumers did not have a choice with regard to choosing their electric providers. After electric deregulation, electric consumers are now able to choose their Retail Electricity Provider (REP) from a handful of REPs in the Connecticut market.

One important thing that did not change is that regardless of which provider you choose and which electric rate plan you are on, the reliability of your service does not change. Depending on what area of Connecticut you live in, your electric utility, or "poles and wires" company will vary, but will remain unchanged by deregulation in terms of actual electricity delivery and equipment service.

Electric Rates in Connecticut

For most people, electricity costs largely depend on where in Connecticut you live, when you use electricity and how much electricity you use. There are also electric plans for people who want a simple and easy to understand electric bill.

ConnecticutElectricCompany.com helps thousands of electricity customers throughout Connecticut each month compare rates from among the most trusted and reliable names in Connecticut. Make your selection below:

Some electric companies in Connecticut charge higher rates (or so called "customer service charges") if you don't use much electricity in some months. Others charge more during summer months when demand for electricity is higher.

It pays to take all the factors into consideration when you make your electric choice so you can maximize your savings. Some of the factors that you should take into consideration when choosing your electric plan:

  • Does your electric provider charge more in summer or winter months?
  • Does your electric provider "pass-through" and charges that other electric providers do not?
  • Are you able to reach your electric provider's customer service department in a reasonable amount of time?
  • What are the deposit requirements?
  • What is the early termination penalty? Will this be charges if you have to move?

Ask any electric provider these questions before signing on with them. If you can minimize your household's electric use during these periods or get better electric management plans that have cheaper rates during these periods of high electric use, you are in actual fact saving lots of money in the long run!

Energy Consulting - How it Works

The advantage we offer our clients in power purchases comes through the arrangements we have with dozens of Retail Electric Providers (REP) and our expertise in negotiating with these providers on behalf of our clients. Any REP will naturally attempt to sell directly to customers at the highest price they believe they will be able to win that customers business with. When working through the reverse auction process used by Eisenbach Consulting, an REP is forced to offer the lowest price they feel they can offer and still remain profitable. We've seen the difference in price between these two approaches amount to over 4 cents/kwh. .

A second and extremely powerful tool we use with our clients is our knowledge of which power products and providers may be specifically suited to our clients. There are a variety of ways to buy power in Connecticut that, depending on a client's power consumption, offer significant cost advantages over the alternatives. An agriculture operation may consume power in the evening, but not have a high enough load to justify the utility installing a meter that reads usage every 15 minutes. We would offer that client the solution of installing a 15 minute "IDR meter" so that they are able to take advantage of their off-peak load, thus reducing their costs by as much as 40%. There are literally hundreds of ways we help our clients reduce costs beyond the initial reverse auction.
