How does energy choice work?
Your local utility may own the power lines, but you have the power to choose who supplies your home's energy. This means you have a choice in your supplier, rate, and even perks that come with your plan.
Energy is produced from a variety of generation sources and sold on the open market.
Suppliers like NRG purchase energy to meet your home’s demands and add rewards or other perks.
Customers like you select an energy plan that work best for their homes and lifestyles.
Suppliers coordinate with your current supplier or local utility to complete the switch without any interruption in your service.
