Wallingford Electric Division

Wallingford Electric Division serves customers in Wallingford in Connecticut with a residential electricity rate of $0.17 per kWh. This is 1% below the national average of $0.168/kWh, though solar still delivers strong returns with today’s lower installation prices.

At current rates, a typical Wallingford Electric Division household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $1,787 per year on electricity. An 8 kW solar system can offset most or all of that usage, saving an estimated $1,589 annually and $57,926 over the 25-year life of the system. With Connecticut incentives of $2,000, the net system cost drops to $24,544, with a payback period of just 15.4 years.

As a municipal utility, Wallingford Electric Division sets its own rates and policies independently. Wallingford Electric Division offers net metering, allowing solar customers to receive credits for excess energy sent back to the grid. Heat pump rebates of up to $1,500 are also available.

The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired at the end of 2025. State and utility-level incentives are now the primary financial benefits for homeowners going solar. NuWatt Energy handles the entire process from system design through permits and Wallingford Electric Division interconnection, ensuring you receive every available rebate.
