What should I look for in a new gas or electric supplier?
Before signing a contract with a new supplier, be sure the company is licensed by the PSC and registered by BGE. You may want to consider each supplier's offers, such as does the supplier offer a flat rate, does the supplier charge the market price – which may vary; or does the supplier guarantee a discount vs. BGE's price. You may also want to consider the length of the contract and whether or not the supplier charges an early termination fee, etc. There may be other factors that are important to you. For example you may be interested in an electric supplier who offers green power, such as solar, wind or hydro power.
