Texas
Roughly 85% of Texans can pick their retail electricity supplier. Competition is the fiercest in the country, which means the best rates — and the most confusing bill-credit structures.
Ohio
Ohio customers keep their utility for delivery and outages but can choose the supplier for the generation portion of the bill — usually the biggest line item.
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania's shopping market is one of the oldest in the country. Watch the utility 'price to compare' — it is the benchmark any supplier offer needs to beat.
Illinois
Illinois residents can choose a supplier while ComEd or Ameren continues to deliver power. Municipal aggregation programs also negotiate rates on behalf of whole towns.
New York
New York's ESCO market lets you choose the supply portion of your bill. Rates are high statewide, so a fixed plan can be worth it purely for the predictability.
New Jersey
New Jersey's third-party supplier market runs alongside PSE&G and Atlantic City Electric delivery. Compare against the Basic Generation Service rate before switching.
Massachusetts
Some of the highest electricity rates in the country, which makes shopping the supply portion worthwhile — especially ahead of the winter basic-service reset.
Maryland
Maryland customers can choose a supplier while BGE or Pepco handles delivery. Fixed offers frequently price under the standard offer service rate.
Connecticut
Connecticut's standard service rate resets twice a year and often jumps sharply. Locking a fixed supplier rate ahead of the January reset is the classic play.
Delaware
Delmarva Power delivers the power while you choose the supplier. A small market, but fixed offers regularly beat the utility's default rate.
Maine
Mainers can shop the supply portion against the standard offer. Winter heating loads make a fixed rate especially valuable here.
Rhode Island
Rhode Island Energy delivers the power; supply is open to competition. Watch the last-resort service rate change each October and April.
