Compare electricity rates in Gaithersburg

Gaithersburg have you tried deregulation?

Maryland legislators passed energy deregulation laws with the goal of saving customers money on their monthly energy bills. Prior to deregulation, Maryland utility companies had a hold on the energy market and its prices. By deregulating the Gaithersburg energy market, retail suppliers can offer home and business owners competitive rates and incentives to save customers money.

Why switch to deregulated energy?

In addition to monthly energy savings, deregulated energy plans also give customers more stability and consistency in their bills. By signing up with a retail supplier, your energy rate can be fixed for up to three years, no matter how the energy market prices vary. Retail suppliers often offer even more incentives for customers, such as fee-less cancellation.
