IS THE NEXT GENERATION ENERGY SUPPLY

1WHAT IS ENERGY DEREGULATION?
Deregulation opened the market to competition giving you the power to choose from whom you purchase your energy. Prior to deregulation your local utility was your only option and you had to pay the rate that the utility charged. Now you can choose from a number of energy supply companies (ESCOs) and select the one that provides you with the options and prices that best meet your needs. Regardless of which ESCO you enroll with, your local utility still delivers your energy and provides billing and emergency service.
2HOW CAN AAP&G REDUCE MY MONTHLY ENERGY BILL?
AAP&G buys large blocks of energy on the wholesale market at low prices and passes the savings on to you. We tell the utility what rate to charge you and the utility handles the rest. From your perspective nothing changes except you start saving money.
3WILL I RECEIVE TWO SEPARATE MONTHLY BILLS FOR MY ENERGY?
No. you will continue to receive a single bill from your utility each month. The bill will identify AAP&G as your energy supply company.
4DO I PAY AAP&G OR THE UTILITY?
You continue to pay your utility. The only difference is that your rate will be reduced.
5IF I HAVE A PROBLEM WHO DO I CALL?
You call your utility. They will continue to respond to service interruptions and will maintain infrastructure. You will continue to receive the same level of service from your local utility company, regardless of who supplies your energy.
6WILL MY UTILITY BE UPSET IF I SWITCH SUPPLIERS?
No. The utility companies have no problem with energy deregulation as they are mainly in the business of delivering your energy, not selling your energy. Many utility companies even promote the fact that you can save money by switching to other energy suppliers.
7IF I AM ALREADY ENROLLED WITH AN ESCO CAN I SWITCH?

9IF I SWITCH SUPPLIERS, WHEN WILL MY SERVICE START?
