How Do I Sign Up for Electricity and Natural Gas?
Electricity and natural gas deregulation allows customers to shop around for rates and plans so they can find the one that is perfect for their home and lifestyle. You can sign up for electricity or natural gas in just a few steps:
Create an account with your utility
If you haven't already, you'll need to create an account with your local utility. Unless you're moving, you should already have an account.
Check whether you're under contract
Check whether you are under contract with your current provider. If you are, make sure you won't be charged an early termination fee if you switch providers before your contract ends.
Have your utility bill on hand
Have a recent utility bill on hand, as you'll need your utility account information to enroll in a new plan with a competitive provider. If you're moving and haven't received a bill yet, you can contact your utility for your account number.
Shop for your perfect plan
Shop for the electricity or natural gas plan that fits your needs. After you sign up, your new provider will contact your local utility to complete the process.
