United Illuminating expects a 13.1% drop in supply rates for the second half of 2025, with residential customers seeing a 13.9% decrease, resulting in an average monthly bill reduction of approximately $13.19 for a typical residential customer using 700 kWh. Eversource filed a new rate reducing from 11.19 cents to 9.75 cents per kWh, representing a 5% decrease on the total bill for a typical residential customer using 700 kWh per month. These changes are pending regulatory approval and effective from July 1 to December 31, 2025.
