Electricity
KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON IN GREATER BOSTON
Electrical deregulation commenced in 1998 making Massachusetts one of the first states in the country to allow competition. With the approval of electric deregulation, consumers now have the ability to choose their supplier. And, Supreme Energy is a licensed Massachusetts electricity broker.
We regularly discuss deregulation with our commercial accounts. Many still have questions regarding how deregulation may provide an opportunity for them. The most common questions are:
1. How does it work? Utilities will continue to operate and function as they have in the past. Your local electric utility will continue to maintain and operate all electric infrastructures. This will include poles, wires, transformers and substations. In the event of power outages or failures caused by storms and downed power lines, they will still respond as they have in the past. If you need new or upgraded service, your local utility will complete this work for you. The key change brought about by deregulation is that your electric utility no longer owns the power plants that generate your electricity.
2. What are the benefits? Because the local electric utility no longer owns the power plants that generate your electricity, you are now able to realize the advantages of a competitive market. With no interruption in service or changes of equipment through Supreme Energy.
Who are the suppliers? There are several reputable corporations that have purchased former utility power plants and have built new power plants to fulfill the growing demand for electricity. With several major power generation suppliers to choose from, Supreme will provide representation for you and your company to procure the most economical electricity supply.
