Scam?? (utilities, taxes, shop)

[vitalaeon]

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.?

me too.. Told em thanks but we have Gateway now and am staying with em, Oh and BTW- our gas and electric last month for a 2100 sq ft 4 bed/3 bath split was $35 total for both (+ taxes and utility warranty = $110 total for the month)..

I posted this link before, but this is the NJ Board of Public Utilities site that has information on the alternative suppliers:

Board of Public Utilities | Commercial<br />Customers

At the bottom of that page, you click on your current utility provider and then it will give you a list of the current alternatives that serve those areas and what they offer in terms of service as well as their contact information.

Here is the link for JCPL:

"Reliant" energy was listed, which I am assuming is the "Reliance" from your post, but "Commerce" wasn't, the list is updated as of 4/25/12.

If you are considering it, read the contract carefully and do your homework and I personally wouldn't consider a supplier that wasn't on the lists I linked above.
