Compare electricity and gas rates in your area
If you live in a deregulated energy market, you can choose who supplies your electricity or natural gas while your local utility keeps delivering it. We’ll connect you with licensed retail energy suppliers and brokers who can show fixed-rate, variable and renewable plans for your utility, so you can compare before you commit. Free, no obligation.
A good fit if you…
- Live in a state with retail energy choice
- Are on your utility’s default rate and have never shopped
- Want a fixed rate to protect against seasonal spikes
- Want 100% renewable supply
- Run a small business with high energy use
What suppliers can show you
- Fixed-rate plans for 6, 12, 24 or 36 months
- Variable and introductory rates, and what happens when they end
- 100% renewable or green energy plans
- Natural gas supply plans
- Early termination fees and renewal terms

Three things to understand before you compare
Which states have energy choice
Electricity choice is available in states including Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Delaware and Rhode Island, plus the District of Columbia. Several more offer natural gas choice.
Supply vs. delivery
Your bill has two parts. Delivery is always your utility. Supply, the energy itself, is what you shop for. Switching never changes who fixes an outage.
Read the rate’s fine print
Compare the price per kWh or therm, the term length, and what the rate becomes at renewal. Many introductory rates rise after the first few months.
How your energy plans request works
Four steps. You never pay us, and you decide what happens next.
