#Eversource recently sent me a letter notifying me that they'd miscalculated the amount they owed me from the #ConnectedSolutions program for last summer and I'd be receiving a second check in a few weeks for the difference.
The check just came and it's for… $8.27. 🤨
Quite a let-down, given that the first check was for $1,047.
(ConnectedSolutions is a #Massachusetts program where people with home storage batteries are paid to let the utility pull power during high demand periods.)

1 hour and 50 minutes on hold because EverSource does not hire enough people. You are told by their automated system that if you press 1 on your phone’s keypad, they will call you back, but that is a lie because I did that Friday morning and never received a call back.

Eversource is both my electric and gas company, and they’re dumb as f*ck — why?

My gas meter is outside. They themselves put it there two years ago. Yet they keep telling me I need to schedule an appointment to have my ‘inside’ meter inspected, even though it doesn’t exist. Last year, I had them come out to inspect this imaginary meter. Now they’re claiming this is my last notice to have it inspected or they’ll shut off my service.

Hey #Massholes: if you are an #EV driver you can get into the #Eversource managed charging program now.

I hear #NationalGrid has one too, but mine is this one so this is the one I know about.

EV Charger Managed Charging | Eversource

The ConnectedSolutions managed charging program rewards you for using less energy during periods of peak demand, when others are using more.

Just noticing that, four days after the big blizzard this week, there are still 52,500 people in Massachusetts without power. Most of them on the Cape, where infrastructure is rougher. #MAPoli #utilities #Eversource #NationalGrid #map

This is the public map for looking at outages:

#NewHampshire said "No!" to #HydroQuebec #Massachusetts scheme!

Massachusetts to continue talks with #HydroQuébec for #NorthernPass project
Historic $680M electricity project was 1st approved in January, but rejected a week later by New Hampshire

The Canadian Press · Posted: Feb 16, 2018

"Despite a rejection in New Hampshire, Massachusetts will continue negotiations on a conditional basis with Hydro-Québec and its American partner #Eversource for the Northern Pass project.

"Hydro-Quebec is counting on the Northern Pass to supply Massachusetts for 20 years, starting in 2020, as part of a historic contract signed with the state in January.

"It is estimated that the #CrownCorporation could pocket $10 billion in revenue if an agreement is reached.

"The project was rejected by the New Hampshire Site Review Board, which refused to grant a licence essential to Northern Pass's completion in the state.

"The Massachusetts Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs says talks on the project could end by March 27.

"In the meantime, conditional negotiations may be conducted for another project, the #NewEnglandCleanEnergyConnect [#NECEC] , which would be carried out by Hydro-Quebec and #CentralMainePower."

Hey #Massholes: cheaper electric rate if you have a #heatpump for winter heat. I just found the #Eversource form page today.

A friend got an email that they were auto-enrolled, but I was not. You should check.

If you think my electric bill is nonsense, wait until you see my gas bill (natural gas). My usage is less than $5, but they charge me over $30 just to deliver the gas.

It really does suck that you can’t shop around for electric and gas delivery. You can only change the supplier — not the deliverer.

#Gas #NaturalGas #EverSource

In the United States, you can choose who supplies your electricity (the supplier), but you cannot choose your electric company (the deliverer). So, no matter how energy-efficient you are, the delivery fee is where they really get you, and you cannot escape that nonsense.

My usage is so low that it costs about $40, but the delivery fee varies between $60+.
