Seriously though, I don't know about all states, but in PA there is a website dedicated to comparing electric suppliers. You can get a 3 month plan for a ridiculously low rate, but oops, when the 3 months are up, your rate will skyrocket. That's why I went with a 12 month plan. Or we can just forego picking our own supplier and let our provider pick one for us. It is usually a higher rate, but still reasonable.
