The rate includes your energy price per kilowatt-hour (kWh). The rate also includes charges that help deliver energy to your home, such as the base charge and delivery charges from your Transmission and Distribution Utility. Some of these charges are fixed and others depend on your usage. You can find your energy price per kWh and other charges in your EFL.

When you sign up for an electricity plan, you'll be able to choose the day you start service. You will usually be able to start service within seven business days.

Every night between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m., any electricity you use is free! You only pay for the electricity you use between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. and you can use as much electricity as you want all night long. If you run your dishwasher or do laundry at night, have parties or binge watch your favorite shows, this plan is for you!

Electricity suppliers like Direct Energy can contribute to renewable energy initiatives by purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). RECs represent proof that one megawatt-hour (MWh) - or 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) – of electricity was generated from an eligible renewable energy source. Examples of these include wind, solar, hydropower and geothermal energy. Both state governments and the federal government regulate these sources. When you enroll with our green plan, you're contributing to the funding of renewable energy initiatives for the entire power grid!
