Easy changeover

Very professional/courteous. Ive only experienced 1month so far but based on that and ease of signing up I dont anticipate any problems! On another note there was a gift card offer when I signed up but I havent received that yet

Electric Supplier

The rate is decent, however, it took 3 times to finally get accepted after my order was canceled, rate no longer available or changed etc. Was a little disheartening but when I got my bill it was exactly the same as it was w prior power supplier with a higher rate so can't see what happened there. A tad disappointed but have only gotten 2 bills from them. Hoping to see improvement over next couple of months or may be time to change. C

Pricing not clearly displayed

Two weeks or so after enrolling in your program, I received an e-mail telling me I owed 139 on my account. At first I thought this to be a scam until I called customer service and was told the $139 was a sign-up fee which, the representative told me, was listed on the company website. Had I seen this listing, I wouldn't have chosen your company since the fee added to the per kw/h would have exceeded most, if not all of the other power providers cost in my area. The representative was kind enough to rescind the contract, and I apologize for not seeing the added fee in the sign-up. Thanks for your help

Don't Switch Companies

This is a sham! I switched, got locked in for a year and pay more now than I did before. Supposed to be .02 cents less per kwh than previous company but I am now paying more.

Mike toth

They locked me in a contract and say I would have to pay $3600 to get out of something they did but lie about everything to get me to sign up with them . They are crocked.

Terrible Customer Service

I've tried calling this company three times and the first two times I waited 25 minutes and no one answered the call. Today I called and a gentleman answered in the first minute, but didn't answer my question why my security deposit ($444) is not being used toward my new bills after one year of paying on time (as initially promised). He switched me to Billing and I've been waiting another 25 minutes for someone to answer the phone. You can't contact this company by email, which in this day and age is absurd. Next step is to write a letter. Unbelievable!!!!

Not happy with public power

I got a low rate to start. However over a period of time my rate has gone up to .129896 per KwH. Their published rate for 12 months is 8.80 I am looking around.

Classic Bait and Switch

I enrolled on-line and within a week, I received a call telling me the information that I used to make my enrollment decision was incorrect. I could either pay a $150 filing fee to continue or lock in to a higher rate plan for a 24-month period. I cancelled the service.

— Charge?????? from Easton, PA on September 13th, 2018

Base fees are expected they want you to pay to join

They wanted 150 dollars to be affiliated with public power in addition to collect8ng the monthly charges per kwh. I decided to not pay the fee so they dropped my account. They did not mention this fee up front when i signed up. Only after a couple of months with them.
