Switching electric providers

Question

My old provider kept going up and up on its rates. Last summer my peak bill was $100 and this summer my last bill was for $230. I haven't paid it yet and they're saying they're going to disconnect my power on the 11th, but my new provider takes over my power on the 8th. If I don't pay my old provider for this outlandish bill, will my power get cut off?

Answer 1

yes.  consider installing photo voltaic, getting it financed and

then, selling the excess to your neighbors!
