How to interpret this bill estimate
The statewide residential rate in Connecticut is 28.30 ¢/kWh. Applying that rate to 900 kWh of monthly use produces an estimated bill of $254.70 before delivery charges, taxes, and fixed utility fees.
That benchmark is useful for comparing states, but real households can land above or below it depending on cooling load, heating type, home size, appliance intensity, and local utility rate design.
