Eversource Electric Rates Update

How do you switch back? If I call DE and cancel, will my service automatically revert to Eversource? The Eversource web site does not have themselves as a choice to "switch" to...

I think it is because Eversource (depending on area) is the default supplier.
So cancelling should switch you back automatically - but it wouldn't hurt to call Eversource to verify.

As John correctly noted, Eversource is the default supplier. There is no need to call Eversource. I've switched back-and-forth several times and have never called Eversource to confirm they are the default supplier.

We are lucky to have an awesome individual in Long Bay who makes us aware of preferred suppliers the day it happens, both with electric and propane. He's the best!

I think Eversource does a six months power procurement, while some of the others ''blend'' by doing contracts more than twice a year - but I'm not perfectly sure; I just remember seeing something about it in an article considering whether the PUC should change the practice for the regulated utilities.

Not even sure how the recent bankruptcy of Burgess will play out...
Will that make the RPS credits even more valuable - maybe someone more educated around that subject has an idea what the outcome might be.
