Prior to energy deregulation legislation being passed, the utility market was dominated by a single company that was responsible for handling every aspect of a person’s or business’ energy requirements, including delivery, transmission, payment, and sales. Since the energy market was dominated by a single company, this entity had a virtual monopoly on the market and could set their own price.

Energy deregulation in Connecticut introduced new competitors in the energy market. More competition means more choice and less expensive monthly bills for you, the customer.

Now, Danbury customers can now shop for their own retail energy supplier. Thanks to energy deregulation, customers in Danbury can compare rates from a variety of suppliers and choose the plan that’s right for them.

Despite energy deregulation having ushered in an era of competition in the choice of an energy supplier, energy is still transmitted and delivered by a single utility company. Eversource Energy (formerly Connecticut Light & Power) is the primary power company in Danbury. In January, it hiked prices 19 percent more – an additional $12 a month.

The good news: You can fight back. Danbury residents and business owners can choose a plan from a number of the nation’s most trusted retail electricity providers, including Constellation Energy and Public Power.

Residents and business owners in Danbury who are looking for renewable energy will be happy to know that many retail suppliers offer plans that include up to 100 percent green energy.
