I’m leaning towards Think Energy but Constellation seems to be very popular. Anyone have a reason not to go with Think Energy (they are approved by the state)?

EDIT: Jeez - what a dope!!! Did anyone notice that I listed the rates in dollars instead of cents? I’m calling myself out on it. I guess it feels like rates are that high!

ENDING: Thank you to everyone who voted and provided input. I made the switch to Think Energy!

Just go with whoever is cheapest; my understanding is that the customer experience is pretty much the same for any of the suppliers.

A lot of people went with Constellation because it was lowest when the Eversource/UI rate change was first announced, but the prices have changed since then.

I always take the cheapest. in CT you can switch without fees. Constellation was just popular at the time becasue they were the lowest

Makes sense, and I didn’t know that was why with Constellation. Thank you!

Just got a letter from constellation asking my ex if he wanted to move to them from Eversource as supplier. I'm going to call constellation but I'm pretty sure this letter says it's 36 months locked in… Don't know what happened to the opportunity to opt out but probably time passed and everyone want to constellation.

Eversource has one heck of a nerve.

Yes the deal is 36 months, however, you can cancel anytime if another supplier goes lower. That is CT law.

Know changing supplier will reduce usage cost but delivery fees will remain the same Eversource has there hands in it🤔

Thank you. Yes, I know there are two rates that make up the total cost and that the change will only affect one rate. Any bit to reduce the total cost helps!!!

I switched to Think Energy, but doesn’t happen until the first of next month. Can cancel and switch to someone else with no penalty’s or fees, so why not the cheapest?

I agree but am looking for confirmation like this from others mostly because I keep hearing about Constellation and nothing about Think Energy.

Thank you. Yes, this is the primary site where I got the rates (I also looked at others). I got an offer in the mail yesterday from Constellation for a $75 gift card (code OFFERFR8), but I’m more interested in the rate than other incentives.

Are you referring to the statement below? If so, that's accurate. Those states don't allow fixed contracts, customers can leave service providers without an early termination. I've referred friends and family in CT without any issues.

> Your friend or family member must successfully enroll in a fixed-rate contract with a term of at least 12 months for a residence located within the areas we serve, except for Connecticut, Illinois, and New York, in order to qualify as a referral under the Refer a Friend program.

Think is cleaner at 100 rec and cheaper ($91 in year @700kwh per month). So no reason to consider constellation. The gift cards are bs.

I agree on all your points. I know some people love the gift cards, but they would never factor into a decision I was making.
