Rate Hike Coming for Eversource Customers

Customers of Eversource who receive their power through the utility’s default service rate may be facing a two-point-three percent hike.

About 45 percent of customers receive their power through a community power program or an alternative supplier.

If approved, the average monthly default service rate will increase by 13-dollars-61-cents.

The company says the increased costs accompany the arrival of summer and are being passed along to customers without profit to the utility.
