Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the rate?

The rate outlines your electricity price per kilowatt-hour, which stays the same for the length of your plan contract. The rate does not include charges from your local utility that may be added to cover delivering electricity to your home.

When will my service start?

When you sign up for an electricity plan, your start date depends on when your local utility reads your meter. Your service will usually start on the next meter read date after your enrollment is finalized. Different utilities have different meter reading schedules, so check with your utility for details.

What type of rate is this plan?

This plan is a fixed-rate plan. Fixed-rate plans offer a stable energy price that will stay the same for the term length of your plan, protecting you from possible price spikes.

How do I sign up?

If you haven't already, you'll first need to create an account with your local utility. Unless you're moving, you should already have an account.

Have your utility account information on hand when you're ready to enroll. We'll ask you for this information so that your utility can connect you to service with us.

You can sign up by clicking the "Select Plan" button above. If you are moving to a new address, just fill out your service address information for your new home. If you are switching suppliers, we will notify your current supplier of your switch.
