I just switched to Direct Energy, but I just received a bill from my previous provider. What should I do?

Once you switch your service to Direct Energy, it takes approximately 45-60 days until you receive your first Direct Energy bill. You may receive a final bill from your previous Retail Electric Provider during that time. You should continue to pay your bill until you start receiving bills from Direct Energy to ensure that your power supply doesn’t get interrupted.
