What is Energy Choice?
Energy choice has been available in various regions for over two decades, allowing consumers to select from competitive energy suppliers. While the local utility maintains responsibility for infrastructure such as wires and pipes, meter readings, and emergency responses, it no longer has exclusive control over energy supply services. Consumers can choose from different retailers offering unique service plans and rates.
What is an Energy Supplier?
An energy supplier is a company that purchases electricity, renewable energy, or natural gas from wholesale markets and sells it directly to consumers. These suppliers are not the same as local utilities, which continue to manage the distribution networks and deliver energy to homes and businesses. The role of an energy supplier is to source and supply energy while the local utility delivers it to your location.
