Stamford Electricity Rates.

In Connecticut’s deregulated energy market, consumers can shop for their energy. Suppliers set their rates, and you can compare and select a new supplier based on their offers. This market type prevents monopolies while keeping the overall price of energy down compared to a regulated market.

The supplier you commit to will send energy to your utility for distribution. Utilities operate in set service areas, which means consumers do not get to choose them. In Stamford, Eversource is your utility. They are responsible for maintaining power lines and handling outages. You can contact this company directly when these issues arise.

Energy market rates fluctuate regularly, so a low market this month may not be the same next month. Comparing suppliers can help you pay a low price even as rates change. When you sign up with a new supplier, you’ll be agreeing to a fixed or variable contract. While fixed agreements have a constant price for a set period, variable rates will change every month based on the market.

When you sign your new contract, make sure your service starts after your existing agreement to avoid any potential cancellation fees.
