Questions to Ask When Choosing an Electricity Retailer or Natural Gas Marketer
If you are considering purchasing your energy from an electricity retailer or natural gas marketer, there are things you should know before signing on the dotted line.
The person offering the contract is required to provide sufficient information so you can make an informed decision. Here are some questions you should ask:
- What is the price being offered?
- How does this compare with the RPP?
- How long is the term of the contract?
- Do you offer contracts that differ in length?
- Will implementation of time-of-use pricing have any impact on my contract?
- What other fees or charges would I be required to pay?
- Would I be transferring the “OPG Rebate” to your company if I sign?
- Would I be required to pay any charges if I leave before the contract ends? If so, how are these charges calculated?
- When would the contract take effect?
- Do you offer “green power” contracts and, if so, how does the price differ?
