PSC Launches New Retail Electricity Shopping Website, Rate Board

The Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia has formally launched its DC Power Connect website and campaign to educate District energy consumers about the power to choose their electricity supplier: dcpowerconnect.com

The creation of the new D.C. energy choice shopping website had been first reported by EnergyChoiceMatters.com

The website provides a one-stop shop of approved electricity suppliers serving District residents and small businesses, with a listing of supplier rate offers

Consumers can compare and filter offers based upon various factors such as:

• Fixed, variable or non-volumetric price

• Renewable content

• Contract length

• Price range

The PSC said that the site also allows customers to compare services such as receiving an energy audit or a programmable thermostat.

As of publication time, the price listing on the site does not list the SOS price

"DC Power Connect provides a simple way for consumers to learn about retail choice in the District, understanding their energy bill, handling third-party solicitations, and tips on saving energy and money," the PSC said

Throughout the summer, the Commission will engage with District consumers about DC Power Connect through webinars, outreach events and social media.
