Based on the average electricity use you entered in Part 1, the second part of this tool will show approximately how much your past electric use will be recalculated. This recalculation would appear on your next NSTAR bill in addition to charges for the current month.

If you are on a fixed rate for Basic Service (which changes every six months) and decide to switch to a Competitive Power Supplier before the six-month period is over, your electric bill will be recalculated. This means your electric bill for the period you were on the fixed rate will be recalculated as if you were on the monthly variable rate for that period. This ensures that all consumers pay the actual cost of the electricity they have used. This adjustment may be a credit or debit, and will be reflected on your first bill after the switch is effective.

Please note, NSTAR's Basic Service rates are currently only available through December 31, 2010. Your contract with a Supplier might be longer in duration. New Basic Service rates, which take affect January 1, will be made available in late December.

Before the adjustment you were billed 7.98 cents per kWh. By signing with a competitive supplier effective your October meter read, you will be rebilled on the Basic Service monthly variable rate, which ranges from 7.637 to 8.5890 cents per kWh.

Should you accept a Competitive Supplier's offer, as a result of this recalculation your bill will be charged an additional, one-time, approximate adjustment of $0.00.

The Department of Public Utilities (DPU) requires all competitive suppliers to provide you with rate information prior to signing a contract or agreement. The information should include current rates, contract length, terms and conditions, environmental characteristics and labor practices.

This information can help you compare offers from Competitive Power Suppliers and should be reviewed before ultimately making your decision.
