I've been getting calls from energy suppliers that work with my electric company (JCPL). Does anyone know what the deal is with them?
The two that I have spoken with are Reliance (that offers a 10.98 cent per kilowatt hour) and Commerce Energy (that offers 8.75 cent per kilowatt hour). I can't find any useful reviews on these two companies and was wondering if anyone here has had any dealings with them...
I usually don't pay attention at how much I am being charged per kilowatt hour... All I know is my electric bill is cheap (usually 60 to 100 a month in the summer with the central air on all day).
I'm curious because these people keep. calling. nonstop. I've even asked my phone company to put me on the do not call list.

I think the do not call list is with your state and federal, not your phone company.

What you call "Reliance" is likely "Reliant" Energy. That might help you, regarding reviews, etc...
About 10 years ago, electricity got deregulated here in Texas. Prior to that, Reliant was THE energy provider for Houston, TX. Now in TX we all can choose. My state has a website that allows you to compare electric providers (Power to Choose) You might ask locally if there is a similar version.
FWIW, I find Reliant reputable. I worry about going with the "fly-by-nights" that I rarely hear about.
However, I have a rule that I never buy, etc... from a phone solicitation. I want to research it on my own and not be left to the whims of a telemarketer in a high pressured sales job.
Some things to consider is if an electric plan is variable or fixed rate, and if there is a monthly fee as well. Also if there is a contract, how long is it?
I was recently shopping for electricity providers now that my contract is up, and find 10c/kw to be pretty fair for my area.

What is the name of the company you went with? I need to reduce my electric bills so I'm very interested. Thanks.
Right now I am sticking with Just Energy. Not "crazy" about them, but they matched at 10.5c kWh rate. And it's fixed for a year. I was curious when TXU started advertising "Free Nights and Weekends" which got me to think about switching, but they wanted over 12c kWh. In my area you could get at low at 8c kWh but I didn't want a variable plan or a "no-name" company. So I just signed on for another year of old and familiar.
