Once consumer choice begins in your area, you will be able to choose your energy supplier. This is the company that will sell you electricity. You can choose your energy supplier based on the service options offered, environmental considerations, price or other issues that may be important to you. The actual percentage, of course, varies from customer to customer. This is the only portion of your bill that will be affected by your choice of energy supplier.
Delivery Stays the Same.
Traditionally, your local electric utility has served two roles - to generate or purchase your electricity and to deliver it to your home or business. Your current electric utility will now become your electric distribution company. The distribution, or the actual delivery of energy to your home or business, will not change. It will still be provided by your electric distribution company over the same poles and wires used today. If the lights go out, you should call your distribution company , the same company you have always called.
