Reply to Eversource doubles pay for CEO as 'skyrocketing' electric bills hit customers by WellSeasonedUsername
I can't afford what's happening. Filling my oil tank just cost me $680 for 170 gallons. My electric bill was $170. In the winter, my electric cost were generally below $100. My previous bills were in the range of $76 to $82. The bill has basically doubled for the same amount of electricity.
My current bill show kWh usage of 230. Come this summer when my usage is the 600 to 700 kWh range, I'll be paying $500 to $600. Can't do that.
Looks like I'll living without air conditioning this summer, unless the temps are extreme.
Anyone who moves to this state is crazy. These costs are not sustainable.

Flood insurance. Many Connecticut residents may be able to get by without flood insurance, but if you need it, we oddly have the second-highest rate in the nation at $1,469. This makes no sense, but.... source: Value Penguin.
