The way consumers choose energy
providers is changing, and even though competition is a good
thing, it can be confusing. These are some of the most
frequently asked questions we get from consumers who are
considering Ambit Energy.
What has changed in electric
and natural gas service with deregulation?
You
can now choose to buy residential energy from a
different supplier than the original provider for your
area. These companies are called Retail Electric
Providers (REP) in Texas, Energy Service Companies (ESCO)
in New York, and Alternative Gas Suppliers (AGS) in
Illinois.
How does Ambit Energy reduce
my monthly bills?
Deregulation allows REPs, ESCOs, and AGSs - like Ambit
Energy - to buy energy wholesale from competitive
providers and pass the savings along to customers.
If I switch, where will my
power come from?
Your
current electric utility or Local Wires Company will
continue to deliver your electricity. Your power will
come from a regional power pool that includes energy
from traditional power plants and other sources like
wind, water, sun and natural gas. Your Local
Distribution Company will continue to deliver your
natural gas.
Will the reliability of my
residential energy service change with deregulation?
No. No
matter which retail supplier you choose, power will
continue to be delivered safely and reliably by a
company still regulated by the utility commission or
agency of your state.
What happens if I have an
emergency or power outage?
Because your local utility is still responsible for
maintenance and repair, you will call these regulated
firms in the event of an emergency or outage at the
number provided on your bill.
Does everyone have the power
to choose their energy supplier?
No.
City-owned utilities and member-owned electric and/or
natural gas cooperatives have the option of giving their
customers a choice of providers, or keeping things the
way they are today.
What happens if my Retail
Electric Provider (REP), Energy Service Company (ESCO) or
Alternative Gas Supplier (AGS) goes out of business?
You
will not be without energy. You should receive a notice
from your retail provider giving you time to select a
new provider. If not, your service will revert to your
previous provider or a provider designated by the state
utilities agency. Rest assured, Ambit Energy is
financially solid and in no danger of going out of
business.
