PSC Launches New Electric Choice Shopping Website
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by EC Infosystems, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
The Maryland Public Service Commission has unveiled a new electricity shopping website with enhanced functionality and features -- MDElectricChoice.com -- listing offers from retail electric suppliers
The forthcoming launch of the new MDElectricChoice had been exclusively first reported by EnergyChoiceMatters.com last month
The SOS rate and monthly cost appears at the top of search results as "Current Supply Service".
Supplier products on the site are then, by default, listed starting with the lowest price per kWh, though not necessarily total monthly cost (in a review of the site, a plan with no monthly fee that costs less was listed lower than a plan that had the same price per kWh, but an additional monthly fee, and thus a higher cost). Users can select to list offers alphabetically
The site's listing of offers will include an estimate of the customer's monthly costs for the energy supply for each plan, including any monthly fees charged by the supplier, based on user-inputted usage, or a default of 700 kWh per month
Results can be filtered by plan type (fixed, variable, etc.), introductory rate, monthly fee, termination fee, term length, and renewable content
Links to product enrollment are included in the listings.
The new website also provides information on customers’ rights, details on understanding utility bills, frequently asked questions, a list of all licensed suppliers including their PSC-issued license numbers, contact information for suppliers and utilities, links to the PSC’s online complaint portal, a link to share the site with family and friends, and more.
A companion site for natural gas shoppers will be launched in the next few months.
