Are there fees associated with signing up?

Some utilities may charge a switching fee when you sign up with a new provider. Make sure to check with your local utility for more information.

Green energy plans are supported 100% by Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) that are purchased and retired in an amount sufficient to match your annual consumption. RECs are a tradeable, non-tangible energy commodity in the United States that represents proof that 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity was generated from an eligible renewable energy resource like biomass, hydro, solar or wind. Please see your Terms of Service for more information.

Licensed Electric Suppliers are required to post the highest and lowest generation service charge rate that was billed to their customers with a cumulative peak demand of less than 50kW under a variable rate offer in each of the preceding 12 months. As of December 2019, all residential customers of Direct Energy Services are served at a fixed price. You can find rate information on the supplier Rate Board that is maintained by the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority at https://energizect.com/rate-board/compare-energy-supplier-rates.
