NRG supplies electricity to your business at a savings compared to utility companies. States that have been deregulated such as Maryland and Washington DC give customers the choice to purchase their electricity outside of the utility at more competitive rates. So there is no misunderstanding, your utility company i.e. BG&E or Pepco are always going to be responsible for the delivery of electricity to your location as well as the maintenance of the lines and all emergency responses for outages. This service is referred to as distribution and appears on your bill. Selecting a new supplier gives you a lower utility bill and all charges continue to appear on your regular bill. One service.One check to be written as always...only for less money.
