It's been a season, hasn't it? The Federal Investment Tax credits are still in place for anyone looking to reduce or eliminate their electric utility bill with a solar system. My wife and I are into our 7th year and the savings keep getting better.

So, I asked Chat GPT what we might expect with Eversource rates in the future:

Eversource electricity rates in Connecticut are expected to continue rising over the next decade, influenced by a mix of infrastructure upgrades, increasing energy supply costs, and regulatory changes. For 2024, a significant increase has already been announced, with customers expected to see rates climb between 10-20%, depending on market conditions and energy usage【16†source】【17†source】.

Over the next several years, further increases are likely. Eversource's rates are subject to fluctuations due to rising global energy prices, supply chain pressures, and the costs of maintaining and upgrading infrastructure. Customers should expect potential annual increases, though the exact rate will depend on various market and regulatory factors. Some forecasts suggest that energy prices could remain volatile, especially in the New England region, which already experiences some of the highest electricity costs in the country【17†source】【18†source】.

To mitigate rising costs, Eversource is encouraging consumers to adopt energy efficiency measures, explore fixed-rate plans, and even consider investing in solar energy to reduce reliance on the grid【17†source】.

Here in CT, we've seen a lot of posts of just how upset people are with their Eversource bill. Our family went with a solar lease over 5 years ago and we have been enjoying the incredible savings from that decision.

I have decided to help home owners understand the product and process to see if this makes sense for them. There are great programs available to buy a system if you're so inclined.

It would be an honor to help you if you're interested.
