What is deregulation?
Energy deregulation refers to the process of removing government controls over the energy market, allowing consumers to choose their energy suppliers instead of being assigned one by your local utility company.
In layman’s terms, it’s like how you can choose between different cell phone providers instead of being stuck with just one. This leads to more competition, resulting in a wider range of services and rates for consumers.

How do I pay my bill if I switch my energy supplier?
Pay as you have been doing. Your bill paying process will not change!
Thanks to deregulation, you are able to select the supplier of your energy, while continuing to use your local utility company. The only thing that changes is your rate.
Will my local utility company continue to service my account?
Yes. Although you will see your new supplier listed on your bill, your local utility company will continue to fully handle your account as usual. This includes meter readings, maintenance, and repairs.
