Overview

In deregulated states (TX, PA, OH, IL, NJ, MA, CT, ME, MD, DC, RI, NH, MI, VA-partial), residents choose their retail electricity/gas supplier. New-customer teaser rates (via PowerToChoose.org, PA PUC Shopping, EnergyChoice.Ohio.gov) sit 30–50% below the default provider's rate. Set a calendar reminder to reshop 30 days before contract expiry — perpetual new-customer pricing.
