Deregulation: Understanding The Opportunity

Join the thousands of residential and business customers who have already switched!

The utility industry is one of the largest markets in the United States with over $350 billion spent on electricity alone in 2008. Until only recently residents and businesses were offered only one choice of electricity provider – their local utility company. These utility companies owned both the power plants to generate electricity and the transmission towers, lines and poles to distribute the power to consumers.

On your utility bill today you’ll see two charges; a supplier charge (for electrical generation) and a delivery charge (for providing service along the power grid) associated with these two basic components of utility service.

One Bill with One Big Difference.

Each month you’ll still get just the one bill from your utility company. The only difference will be in the ‘Supplier Charge’, which will now be at the lower Verde Energy USA rate.

  • Delivery Charge. This is the fee your utility company charges to use the power grid and power lines to deliver service to your home.
  • Supplier Charge. This is the fee your supplier charges for generating electricity. By law, your utility company will handle this unless you choose another provider, like Verde Energy USA.

Deregulation: Separating the Supplier from the Deliverer.

When Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and 13 other states deregulated their energy markets, local utility companies in those states were forced to sell their power generation plants. They held on to all their transmission and distribution assets and continue to maintain this infrastructure.

The energy supply industry in these deregulated states was opened up to independent energy companies like Verde Energy USA and thus consumers in these states have the opportunity to choose who they get their power from. Now residents and business do not have to accept their utility company (or their price) for electricity supply.

Energy companies like Verde Energy USA provide energy to the community at competitive pricing. This often means they can provide electricity at a significantly reduced rate compared to the utility company’s rates. This in turn can save households and business hundreds or thousands of dollars annually depending on their electricity consumption.

The Choice is up to You.

Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania law requires utility companies to comply with your choice of another energy provider. When you choose Verde Energy USA the utility company must provide our lower-cost electricity over its system of power lines and transfer stations while passing along the savings to you.

Two companies. One Utility Bill. Zero Hassle.

When you choose an alternative energy provider like Verde Energy USA you still receive only one utility bill. That bill will continue to come from your current local utility company. The only difference is the supplier charge will now reflect the lower rate of your alternative provider.

Your switch to Verde Energy USA is seamless. Your local utility company will continue to deliver the power to you and provide all servicing . There’s no hassle for you, just a reduced energy bill each month.
