The rates listed typically make up between 40% and 60% of the customer’s total utility bill, however, the actual impact on total bills will vary based on many factors, including the weather, the age and efficiency of home heating systems, and the level of individual customer usage. The commission does not regulate prices for the generation portion of electric bills – which are driven by the regional energy market.

Starting at $2.99/week.
