Understanding Your Eversource Electric Bill
There are four specific aspects of your electric bill that you should be familiar with.
Electric Delivery vs. Electric Supply
On the first page of your Eversource bill, you will see a graph depicting what portion of your total bill went towards thedelivery of your electricity vs. the supply of your electricity.
- Delivery These charges support the delivery of electricity to your home and go to your utility provider (Eversource).
- Supply These charges are for the electricity you used and go to your electricity provider. This may be Eversource, or it may be a retail electricity provider.
The important thing to understand about this section is that switching electricity providers only affects the supply portion of your bill. Delivery rates are the same no matter your electric provider.
