Thanks to deregulation, we have the power to choose Next Utility Energy to be our electricity and natural gas supplier which can save us money on energy costs and protect us from price increases. We no longer have to buy the electricity and natural gas from the local utility company and we can buy from Next Utility Energy which can pass wholesale prices and different rate plans that can benefit all end energy consumers.
The local utility company is still responsible to deliver the electricity through their lines and to deliver the natural gas through their pipes, to read the meters, to respond to outages and billing for service.... just as they do all the time ! So the only things that will change are the savings achieved on the supply portion of the bill when Next Utility Energy will be the supplier of electricity or natural gas !
