The Bridgeport and New Haven lighting rate stands at 41.5 cents per kilowatt hour, while Hartford offers 4 cents for power use under a separate heating and cooking rate. The Telegram argues that broad electric use, not just lighting, should guide pricing as utilities promote power for home heating and cooking, noting Hartford and Danbury incentives and free lamp services that affect consumer costs.
