The Power to Choose.

Thanks to energy deregulation – you now have the power to choose your energy company.  The question is – who do you choose?  We are here to help you gather the information needed so you can make an informed decision when selecting your power company.

PowerToChoose Green was started to help consumers and business electricity users get the information they need to shop for a new power company.  Texas is definitely considered a leader in the arena of electricity deregulation, having initiated that option in various parts of the state in 2002.  Other states and areas currently offering deregulated electricity include California, Connecticut,  Illinois, Ohio, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and others.  Some of these states’ deregulation is exclusive to electricity, some include electricity and gas. Others have gone (or are still going) through various phases of the suspension of deregulation in their state.

Deregulation has been shown to boost the use of renewable energy resources, such as wind farms.  Example – Texas is now the nation’s leading producer of wind energy.  The states other than Texas which have deregulated service have experienced a relatively broad cross section of results.  In Pennsylvania, where it’s been enacted since 1998 – recent statistics show that since late 1999, nearly half a million consumers have chosen to change their electric provider.

Deregulation has most certainly been a big benefit to many and is here to stay.  So you might was well exercise your power to choose and either help save the environment, save on your electric bill, or in some cases – both.  Shop and compare rates today!

Your power to choose your own energy supplier can certainly yield some big savings, however, make sure you continue to check your rate versus what else is available – because you might be paying too much.  In fact, we have seen that it sometimes makes sense to pay the cancellation fee on an energy contract because the net result will yield even greater savings.  Electricity prices go up and down everyday – you need to make sure you are on the right electricity contract term (good idea to utilize Choose Energy’s Texas Residential Electricity Price Index Chart  to make sure you select the term that is trending down), the right price and the right plan.  Make sure you read the fine print – as some plans even penalize you for contacting customer service.

Do your research and pick the plan that is right for your home or business – it’s your power to choose – choose wisely.
