Energy deregulation?

Question

just curious if anyone has ever been contacted by or heard of a discount electricity program for those states that are deregulated, and what you would do and have done... basically i would like to know what you would do if someone told you you could get a discount on your electric service...

Answer 1

I would laugh in their face and tell them that I produce my own electricity.  I have however heard of a program called LIEAP.  They're based in Wyoming but are available in several states.  Here's their web site:  http://lieap.state.wy.us/

Answer 2

There are some states where you can choose your electricity provider.  I believe mine is one of them, but I have not been motivated to spend the time to check them out; I use CF lights almost exclusively and heat with gas, so I wouldn't save very much even if my rate went to zero.
