Answer 1

A great way for people to save money is to switch to an independent electricity supplier. Many states have deregulated gas and electricity supply. For example, residents of CT and PA (and soon NJ and MD), can save up to 30% on their electricity supply costs by switching to Viridian Energy. Switching is free and takes only a few minutes.

There is no contract or obligation, so if you’re not satisfied you can switch back at any time. Your current utility company will still handle the distribution part of the service, so it still handles service calls, outages, emergencies and billing. An added benefit is that 20% of Viridian’s electricity comes from wind and solar sources, and the company has plans to roll out a 100% green product later this year that will be Green-e Certified.
