Customer Choice has been active and a very popular buying option for businesses across 14 different states, mostly in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. While the stats can vary from market to market, statistically, about 80% of eligible businesses choose a supplier other than the utility when given the choice. Buying energy from a supplier is largely a contract and financial transaction and does not require any changes to your service, delivery relationship with the utility or your operations. The supplier contract charges would replace your “Electric Supply Services” section on your utility invoice. The process produces savings and budget security, as you can lock in low rates for longer terms.
