Connecticut Light & Power customers could see some relief in their electric bills later this year.

In a filing made Tuesday with the state Department of Public Utility Control, CL&P said it wants to lower overall rates for so-called “standard service” customers by approximately 4.5 percent. There are different rate levels within that service.

The typical residential customer using 700 kilowatt hours a month would see a decrease of approximately 5.5 percent, or $7.60 per month.
