Power Outages Are Frustrating

Power outages disrupt your day and plans — and there's nothing you can do to speed them up.

But there is one part of your energy bill you can control.

What You Can — and Can't — Control

You Can't Control
  • • Weather-related outages
  • • Utility repairs
  • • Restoration time
You Can Control
  • ✓ Your electricity supply rate
  • ✓ Whether you're overpaying
  • ✓ Finding a better plan
Outages are infrastructure-related. Your supply rate only determines what you pay when power is on.
