Usage and Safety 
questions to ask suppliers

Before you select a supplier (also known as an energy
services company or ESCO), consider their answers to the following questions:

  • What is your charge per usage (kwh or therm) for energy supply?
  • Is the supply a fixed charge or does it vary depending on: market price, time-of-day
    or use?
  • What is the length of the agreement?
  • Is there a security deposit, cancellation fee or other fees?
  • Do you have any incentives for signing up with you?
  • Do you guarantee savings?
  • When will I be billed for energy supply and are your charges included in my RG&E bill?
  • What procedures are in place if I have a question or a complaint with you as
    my supplier?
