We all want it, a lower carbon footprint in order to leave this world a better place than when we found it. A lower electric bill wouldn't be such a bad thing either!
There are many ways to do this in today's world. Solar energy reduces 35 Million Tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. There are electric cars, lights that turn on and off in case you forget, and more and more we are looking for renewable and sustainable energy sources.
A step forward in the quest for finding new, sustainable, and yes, affordable energy sources is deregulated energy.
Maybe you've heard of it, maybe you are using it but it never hurts to go over things again. For those that don't know, deregulated energy is when there is less governmental control over your electricity. Pretty simple right? But, what does this mean for you?
Basically, deregulated energy is electricity and heat that isn't owned by large suppliers. When deregulated energy is used by a local energy company, it gives you more options to compare and choose from. Deregulated energy allows you to choose the energy supplier that fits your budget, needs and lifestyle.
When lighting makes up 10 percent of home energy costs, saving money on energy expenses sounds like a really great idea. Is there a downside to deregulated energy? Well, there's a reason energy has been regulated for so long: it is proven to be effective, efficient, and trusted.
Still, this doesn't mean deregulated energy cannot come from reputable sources.
So, while deregulated energy can come from smaller, more local energy companies, it doesn't mean that there isn't oversight and control because as American Power and Gas says "you’ll still receive your power and gas through your local utility’s infrastructure, but you can choose where to source your energy."
Deregulated energy is really about giving the choice back to the customer and consumer. Whether or not deregulated energy is for you, it is nice to know you have options when it comes to your utility suppliers now.
