Direct Energy will host meetings on electric choice this week.
In 1999, the Delaware General Assembly passed legislation that allowed Delawareans to choose their electricity supplier.
However, relatively few customers signed up over the past couple of decades.
Direct Energy, the electric supplier exclusively contracted with by the State of Delaware, will hold the first in a series of town hall meetings to educate residents about their choices related to energy providers.
Direct was brought on board to jump-start deregulation and offers longer-term price guarantees.
Those attending the meetings are asked to bring along their Delmarva Power bills. Light refreshments will be sold, and those in attendance will be entered to win a Nest Learning Thermostat.
The company announced the following two meetings this week:
- Six p.m., Wednesday, September 28, 2016, Skyline Middle School, 2900 Skyline Drive, Wilmington.
- Three p.m., Thursday, September 29,, The Frederica Senior Center, 216 Market Street, Frederica, DE 19946
Direct Energy is one of North America’s largest energy and energy-related services providers with nearly five million residential and commercial customers.
