Anyone here taken advantage of it? If so with who, and how is it working out for you so far?

Yes I did and am saving about $14/mo on a bill that used to average a little over $100/mo with ATlantic City Electric.

This is who I dealt with.

He sells for Stream Energy who resells for Energy Choice pgm.

Figuring out whether you save or not is not easy. But look for a phrase on your current electric bill like this: " The class average annual price to compare is 11.71 cents per kWh." Then compare that to the rate chart from the Energy Choice provider.

The Philadelphia utility's residential price for electricity is slated to increase 21.5 percent on Monday.

Peco doesn't make any money off electricity supply - the cost is a pass-through. The utility earns its profits on a distribution charge it gets from all customers, regardless of who generates their power.

"The smart Peco customer would be shopping," said Engel Menendez.

Bob posted : It appears to me that they lure you with slightly lower rates for some period of time, then start charging more and hope you don't notice.

Also note that when they say they'll save 10%, it's 10% off the generation charges, which is only a fraction of your total bill.
