Now you will be able to shop among the new Electric Service Providers for the best rates and services. This change in the market is expected to bring about new products and services and also to give you better value for your energy dollar. Competition is being phased in between now and January 1, 2001. Commercial customers with peak loads less than 1 MW may be eligible to participate during 2000 if their loads are aggregated, by an ESP, with the loads of other customers into a combined load of 1 MW or greater. Contact your utility company for this information.
Aggregation is the combination of loads of multiple customers.
An aggregator is an Electric Service Provider who, as part of its business, combines electric customers into a purchasing group. You are not required to switch companies. Electric competition was designed to give you energy options. In a competitive market, you have the ability to shop for services that will best suit your needs. You don't have to change.
