Energy Suppliers and Time of Day
Anyone using an ESCO (Energy Supply Co) for Gas or Electric?

I signed up for one a while back for both gas and electric and it is really impossible to tell if you get any savings. At one point there was no tax, but looking over my bill that seems to have changed.
My latest electric supply bill I paid $12.4335/kWh plus 4% tax. Can anyone tell me how does that compare with the straight ConEd rate? (This is EL1 residential service)
Also, does anyone have experience with the ConEd's voluntary time of day pricing?

From what I know about how energy supply and demand works it definitely seems like time of day pricing is the future. But there is very very little info on the ConEd site about what to expect if you sign up. Anyone tried it?

Happen to have Con Ed bills to hand. I use Energy Plus as well as Con Ed.
Rates vary 13.5438 per kWh to 21.2267 and sales tax at 4%
Con Ed varies from 11.142 to 14.9400.
I think I signed up for Energy plus because I get frequent flyer miles! Duh...

i signed up based on a strong recommendation from my coop's building manager. over the past 4-5 months, i have seen my con ed electric bill evolve from an average of $191 to $200. my opinion: don't bother. also, the bill in no way reflects what you might be saving if still 100% with con ed...no savings comparison. obviously i have saved nothing and in fact, based on the fact that i seldom ran an AC in the summer, wonder if i'm not paying more.

There are legit alternative companies. I've saved over the years. Have gotten complacent & don't have comparisons near at hand. Go onto CondEd's website & they tell you what is available where you live.
