💬 Johnny's Take
What I Would Do This Week
If I were looking at my own electric bill today, here's exactly how I'd decide what to do:
🟢 My current supply rate is LOWER than my utility's Standard Service rate.
I'd stay right where I am.
You're already paying less than the utility, so there's no reason to switch just because another offer exists.
🟡 My current supply rate is HIGHER than my utility's Standard Service rate.
I'd make a change.
At a minimum, I'd switch back to my utility's Standard Service. Then I'd compare it to this week's lowest fixed-rate offer to see if there's an even better option.
🔵 I'm currently on my utility's Standard Service rate.
I'd compare it to this week's best fixed-rate offer.
This week:
Eversource: 11.57¢/kWh vs. Major Energy: 11.19¢/kWh
UI: 11.94¢/kWh vs. Major Energy: 10.99¢/kWh
The savings aren't life-changing, but they can add up over the course of a year. Before switching, I'd always review the contract length, renewal terms, and any early cancellation fees.
My Bottom Line
Don't automatically renew.
Don't automatically switch.
Review your options and make the decision that's best for your situation.
