PJM · Your default rate resets June 1, 2027
Your bill jumped 20% in one month. Nobody asked you.
On June 1, 2025 the average New Jersey household's bill rose 17 to 20% — more than $20 a month — across PSE&G, JCP&L, Atlantic City Electric and Rockland Electric. The driver was a PJM capacity auction whose price rose more than 800%. It resets again. A fixed rate doesn't.

Why fixed
Your default rate has a
behavior problem.
It doesn't stand still.
New Jersey sets its default supply price once a year, at the Basic Generation Service auction, effective June 1. The June 2025 reset added 17 to 20% to the average bill in a single step. The auction that sets the next one runs in February — months before you'd see it.
Uncertainty is what you're buying now.
Unless you lock a rate, your supply price is set by a process you're not part of — and you find out what it did when the bill arrives. Over twelve months that can mean resets you never saw coming, each one priced before you could react.
One fixed number, twelve months.
One fixed supply rate. 12 months. Set on a two-minute call. The rate and the term are read to you out loud on a recorded verification before anything is authorized.
How it works, in three lines
- 1. Your bill has two halves.
- 2. Supply is the shoppable half.
- 3. That's the half a fixed rate applies to.
What it's worth
About two months of your electric bill. Every year.
Supply is roughly 55% of your bill and we model a 30% improvement on that half — about 1.98 months of the modelled bill per year. For the average New Jersey household that's roughly $305 a year. It's a model, not a promise — what you're buying is the rate and the term.

Three questions
See what a fixed rate looks like in New Jersey.
Are you the person named on the electric bill?
Only the account holder can authorize a change — that's a state rule, not ours.
How we operate
Six checks between you and a bad deal.
This industry has a reputation, and it earned it. Here's exactly what happens before we hand you to anyone.
If it doesn't, we tell you and stop. We don't route calls we can't serve.
Switching an account you don't hold is illegal. We check before we connect you.
A recorded third-party verification confirms your identity, the rate, the term and the terms — in your own words.
Out loud, on the recording, before anything is authorized. No fine print doing the talking.
Every choice market provides one after enrollment begins. We'll explain yours on the call.
Same delivery, same outage response, same bill. We say it because it's the question everyone asks.
Questions
The things you're actually wondering.
My bill already went up. Why would I trust another energy company?
Fair. The increase came through your utility's default supply rate, which moves with the wholesale market whether you're watching or not — and it moves again every June 1. A fixed twelve-month rate is the one thing that takes you out of that cycle. If this week's fixed rates aren't worth switching for, we'll tell you on the call and you'll have lost two minutes.
If I switch, does my power ever get shut off?
No. Your utility remains responsible for delivering your electricity and restoring it after an outage, regardless of who supplies it. Changing suppliers is a billing change, not a service change. Nobody comes to your house and nothing is installed.
Can I cancel?
Every choice market provides a rescission or cooling-off window after enrollment starts, and the specific length is set by your state's public utility commission — it'll be read to you on the verification recording. After that window, fixed-term contracts may carry an early-termination fee, which is also disclosed on that recording before you agree to anything.
What does this cost me?
Nothing. There's no fee to use PowerRelief and no utility fee to switch suppliers. We're paid by the supplier when a household enrolls. You should know that, because it tells you what our incentive is: they only pay us for enrollments that stick, which is why we screen you out rather than push you through.
