The proto-electric companies offering deals

What state do live in?

If this is due to deregulation then what the new company is is merely a marketer. Deregulation took place for natural gas in GA several years ago. In the Atlanta area for natural gas it is all run and serviced by Atlanta Gas Light; however, AGL does not handle billing. There are a multitude of gas marketers that act as middle men. All they do is collect the money and pay AGL. As far as service/repairs go AGL sucked before deregulation at getting out in a timely manner and they suck now

Yes- this is deregulation. I've gotten these before but dismissed them out of hand, but with money fairly tight am taking a second look-still feel these guys are a bit sleazy since they don't really seem to do anything- Duke still seems to be the main actor here, the interloper just takes your $$$ and really does nothing. Dunno, that's why I'm kinda tempted but also hesitant!

After deregulation took effect here you had a time limit to pick a marketer or the commission picked one for you, you may want to get on your state's commission website and see what the requirements are and what are your choices
