CT OCC Verified Data

CT customers have overpaid $195 million on supplier contracts since 2015.

That figure comes directly from the Connecticut Office of Consumer Counsel — the state agency that tracks supplier vs. standard service performance for every customer class.

The reason isn’t the market. It’s the advice. Most CT businesses rely on energy brokers who earn commissions from suppliers when contracts are signed. That creates a structural conflict: the broker’s incentive is to close a deal, not to optimize your outcome.

An independent advisor earns from you — tied to verified savings at contract execution. When the market favors staying on standard service, we tell you. When it’s time to move, we tell you that too.
