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. The estimated payback period is 14.7 years.

Wallingford Electric Division offers net metering for solar customers. Heat pump rebates of up to $1,500 are available. Third-party ownership through solar leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs) is available, which can qualify for the 30% commercial Investment Tax Credit under Section 48.

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.
