How Businesses Can Save Money on Utility Bills

How Businesses Can Save Money on Utility Bills by Comparing Electricity and Natural Gas Suppliers
Energy costs are one of the biggest expenses for businesses. If your company operates in a deregulated state or province, you have the power to lower your utility bills by choosing your electricity and natural gas suppliers. This means you don’t have to settle for the default rate from your local utility. Instead, you can shop and compare third-party suppliers to find the best pricing available.
This simple strategy can help your business lock in savings and gain control over future energy costs.
Where You Can Choose Your Energy Supplier
In deregulated markets, businesses can choose from multiple licensed suppliers. These suppliers compete to offer better pricing, giving you the opportunity to reduce your energy expenses.
U.S. Deregulated States Include:
-
Pennsylvania
-
Ohio
-
Illinois
-
Texas
-
New York
-
New Jersey
-
Connecticut
-
Massachusetts
-
Maine
-
Maryland
-
Delaware
-
New Hampshire
-
Rhode Island
-
Michigan
-
Partial areas of California
Deregulated Canadian Provinces:
-
Alberta
-
Ontario (partial deregulation)
Choose Fixed All-In Rates for Price Protection
Third-party suppliers offer fixed all-in rates that bundle your supply costs into one stable price. This helps protect your business from unexpected rate increases.
You can choose from contract terms such as:
-
12 months
-
24 months
-
36 months
-
48 months
-
60 months
Longer contracts provide more stability, especially when rates are rising. Many companies select 24 or 36 months to balance security and flexibility.
Easy Enrollment Process for Lower Utility Bills
Here’s how to get started:
-
Compare offers from multiple suppliers in your area for electric or gas service.
-
Select your preferred contract length and rate.
-
E-sign your agreement online from any device.
-
Wait 1 to 3 business days for supplier confirmation.
Once confirmed, your new supply rate will appear on your current utility bill. There’s no disruption in service, and your utility continues to deliver energy and respond to emergencies.
Lock in Future Start Dates Today
If you’re currently in a supply agreement that expires later, you can lock in a new rate now with a future start date.
Example:
If your current agreement ends in September 2025, you can secure a new rate today that begins in September 2025. This ensures you’re not caught off guard by rate increases when your current contract expires.
You’ll receive renewal pricing 2 to 3 months before your current agreement ends. Your renewal contract will begin the same month your current agreement ends.
