SaveOnEnergy’s tips for easy electricity service setup
- Read your plan’s Electricity Facts Label before signing up. It contains essential information, including:
- Price per kilowatt-hour based on usage
- Percentage of renewable energy sourcing
- Early termination fees
- Let your provider handle your setup. When you switch plans, your new supplier will set up service with your utility, or transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) – but don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any interruption to your power during the switch.
- Understand your electricity bill. Your local TDSP will still deliver electricity and maintain your electric infrastructure, including meters and power lines. Your utility fees are independent of your supplier rate, and they appear as TDU or TDSP charges on your monthly bill.
How to move or transfer service with Champion Energy
Champion Energy makes moving your energy plan to your new home easy. Contact your energy provider about two weeks before your move — and no later than 48 hours before — to set up service at your new address. The company will handle the setup and coordinate with your latest utility company. If you’re moving out of Champion Energy’s service area, you can look for a new provider at SaveOnEnergy — and you won’t need to pay an ETF.
