Is Constellation not available everywhere in Connecticut?

Everyone in Connecticut who is not on a budget plan should be able to switch (and should!) energy suppliers.

However as I said in my other reply to you, it isn't just Constellation. They just happened to be the least expensive at the time you locked in last year. I've used Direct Energy, Town Square and a few others over the years at this point.

I was just bringing up them because it seems like no one thinks of switching or doesn’t know where to start?

I said in my other comment “or any other electric company.” I have only been in Connecticut for one year so I don’t know all of the energy suppliers in the state. I was just trying to bring up that other people might have options to switch to.

You make a good point, and so my reaction to you was simply because everyone in this subreddit and indeed my hometown Facebook is all about Constellation. But they are only one of many electric companies, as you acknowledge.

I didn't read your other reply that including "or any other electric company". Missed that I guess.

What do you mean by budget plan? I am on a plan where I pay some average amount and then at the end of the year, they adjust my payment, is that what you mean?

I only ask because I was able to switch the Constellation before the rate hike and haven't had any issues.
