When considering choosing an electricity provider, you may want to consider the following points.

Reliability
  • Is the electricity provider registered with your state's public utilities commission, or other applicable governmental entity?
  • Does the electricity provider have complaints filed against it with your state's public utilities commission?
Service Areas
  • If you have facilities in multiple states, does the electricity provider serve those areas?

Terms of the electricity provider’s offer

  • For fixed price offers, for what period of time is that price guaranteed?
  • For variable price offers, how often does it change - seasonally, monthly, by day of the week, or time of day?

Contracts or other written agreements

  • What is the duration of time for which the agreement remains in effect?
  • Does the contract automatically renew?
  • If I decide to make changes in my contract, are there any costs?
  • Does the electricity provider require a termination fee if I decide to change providers?
Billing
  • How will I be billed, and what are the billing options?

Customer Service

  • Has the electricity provider clearly described to you how service requests should be handled, and who you should contact if there is an interruption in service?
