Hello, is there a list of available providers for the Bethlehem, Pa area – Retail Electric Provider (REP). Also, is there a website that will list rating of each provider along with complaints.
Regards,
Bill

Hello, can you please explain to me how I will save money by being able to choose my electric provider when there is only one provider in my area that supplies electricity being claverack REC? Since they are the sole, and proprietary provider that supplies my area, what choice do I have in the matter what so ever? Thank You for your time.

Greetings Dale,
Thanks for your email and interest.
I know how you feel!!!
I blog about electricity deregulation and find myself exactly just like you, still under a monopoly with no choice(s) what so ever. (Miami, Fl. – Florida Power and Light)
We both still at the mercy of deregulation and when it will be available in our areas.
There is no way for us to switch and start saving Dale. We have to wait until it happens in our areas.
So have a sit my friend, this does not happens quickly at all.
You may sign for my RSS feed at my site or check periodically or just send me the State and Zip code where you live and I’ll put you on my list. -By the way, not that you will not find out in your local news well in advance before it happens in your area.
Have a great day Dale.

Why are electric rates so much higher than rates in neighboring states? That’s the question tackled by reporter Jack Z. Smith in an article that ran recently in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Speaking to Smith, several experts blamed deregulation. “If you look around the country, to where states have gone to unregulated electricity markets, they are paying higher prices,” said Andrew Tevington, deputy director of the Public Utility Division of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. The article noted that Texans paid residential rates below the national average before deregulation, but now pay rates above the national average.
Some experts quoted by Smith blamed high prices in Texas, at least in part, to the relatively high reliance here on natural gas to fuel electric generation plants. But Smith notes that regulated Oklahoma relies even more heavily on natural gas — and yet residential rates there remain much lower than those in deregulated Texas.
One electric industry representative quoted by Smith defended the deregulated system, noting that consumers in Texas unhappy with their electric rates can shop around for better deals. But the article cites a number of reasons why many consumers don’t shop for better deals — including the assessment of early termination fees that discourages switching from fixed-rated deals and the confusion felt by some elderly consumers about using computers to shop for electricity.
One point not noted by Smith, however, is that even Texans who overcome such obstacles and shop around for the BEST electric deals available can still expect to pay more than consumers in regulated Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma. That is, even the lowest-priced competitive deal in Texas fails to match AVERAGE rates in those adjoining states, according to a comparison of competitive rates on file at the Texas Public Utility Commission with corresponding pricing data from the federal government.

Karl, we are not a provider of services. We only blog about the industry’s developments. I suggest you call providers in you area to get quotes.

I would like to compare your residential electric rates to PP&L. Could you let me know what your current rates are at present. Also, would you have any add ons to your billing process such as transmission charges, etc.
Thank you,
Pete Jellen

Do energy providors in Texas offer rebates to encourage the use of higher efficiecy products that reduce electricity demand?
The providors in some states are offering programs where as much as 60% of the cost of an electricity saving project will be rebated by the serving utility.
Thank you for your comments.

Admin,
I see you quoted my landing page info at http://www.NY-NJelectricderegulation.com and added some content of your own. As you know residential electric has been deregulated in NY and we are probably 30 days away from the company I am a consultant of , Public Power,LLC to be approved in NJ. So finally NJ will get some relief! This month alone those that switched their provider via Con ED saved 17% off their bill..~Steve
