Currently, you buy your electricity from the electric utility that serves your area of the state. Your current electric utility either generates or purchases electricity for you. It then delivers the electricity to your home or business over its poles and wires. The Power Is Yours. You can choose your REP based on its service options, environmental considerations, price or other issues that may be important to you.
Delivery Stays the Same.
Traditionally, your current electric utility has served two roles - to generate or purchase your electricity and to deliver it to your home or business. The distribution, or delivery of electricity to your home or business, will not change. It will continue to be provided by your local electric utility, now called the transmission and distribution utility, over the same poles and wires used today. Electric cooperatives and city owned utilities will be able to decide whether they want to offer their customers a choice of providers. Customers should contact their cooperative city owned utility for more information.
