Electric deregulation information and tips on alternatives will be offered Thursday at the American Eatery in the Crossings Premium Outlets in Tannersville.

Attendees from 1-4 p.m. will receive information on electric deregulation and the alternatives available to them when rate caps are lifted next month. They will also be able to find out more about programs and services available to help lower winter utility bills, as well as tips on how to be more energy efficient during the winter months.
