Yeah eversource is highway robbery but there’s not much we can do. Our representatives aren’t willing to take serious action here. A few towns have it handled on a local level by setting up their own delivery.

On the supply side you can usually switch suppliers. I’m with residents energy on a 6 month contract. Not sure what it is exactly but when I looked it was much cheaper than the default supplier.

I’ve never heard anyone talk about it before but I discovered you can switch your delivery fees a little. There’s different billing rates based on what you’re using the electricity for. “R-1 general” is the default but “R-3 heating” is a few cents a kwh cheaper. I heat with mini splits so I qualify but that said they don’t verify anyway.

Also in MA the “masssave” program is paid already by taxes and whatnot. They’ll come insulate your house so heating is cheaper. They’ll also replace and inefficient incandescent bulbs and give discounts on some appliances.
