Haver blames the PUC for that, too. Peco will continue to deliver your electricity no matter who you buy the power from. You'll see ads in the newspapers from power companies offering to sign you up for the pilot program. If you let them do it, they'll automatically be your new power company and you'll have forfeited your right to make your own choice. Do it yourself, says Haver, so you can pick the company you want.
Cost is one consideration, obviously.
Haver said others are whether the shop is unionized, whether it's a local company that supports the tax base, whether the electricity is generated by nuclear power plant, and so on. Call CEPA at 424-1441. You don't have to send back the post card. You don't have to pick your power provider right now, if you don't want to. But by law, everyone will have to pick their own power company by the year 2,001.
