Compare Energy Plans & Electricity Rates
In deregulated markets you choose who sells your electricity — your local utility just delivers it. Compare plans by rate per kWh, contract length, and renewable content for your ZIP.
How Switching Electricity Providers Works
In a deregulated market the poles, wires, and meters belong to your local utility, but the energy itself is sold by competing retail providers. When you switch, only the selling company changes: the new provider notifies the utility, your meter keeps running, and the next bill simply comes from the new company at the new rate. There is no service interruption and nothing to install.
The comparison above is ZIP-specific — enter your ZIP code to see only the plans actually sold at your address, including fixed-rate, variable, and 100% renewable options.
Compare the Real Rate, Not the Teaser
Electricity plans are quoted at three usage levels — 500, 1,000, and 2,000 kWh per month. Tiered plans can look cheap at exactly 1,000 kWh and jump sharply above or below it, so compare at the level closest to your real usage (it is printed on your current bill). Watch three other fields: whether the rate is fixed or variable, the contract length, and the early-termination fee. A fixed-rate plan that matches your usage profile beats a teaser rate nearly every time.
