Switching Electricity Providers

You may instead wish to switch energy providers. In this case, your new electricity company will help you transition from your old contract to your new contract. However, if you’re switching plans for your current home before your contract end date expires, beware of early termination fees (called ETFs).

The Electricity Facts Label (EFL) associated with each plan discloses the fee you’ll pay if you cancel early. If you find a plan with a much lower rate than you’re paying now, you may come out ahead by paying the early termination fee and switching, but you’ll need to do the math first. If you wait until 14 days of your current contract expiration to switch, you can avoid the fee.

Also, you can usually enroll in a plan weeks or months before the start date to secure the plan at the advertised rate at that time.
