Energy Choice: What to Know about NRG

Pennsylvania is an energy-choice state. What this means is that consumers have the power to decide who supplies their energy. So you can shop for energy supplies like you shop for any other product or service. Not all states are energy choice states, so those electricity customers are stuck with only one option, their local utility.

NRG Energy is a leading energy and home services company powered by people and our passion for a smarter, cleaner, and more connected future. A Fortune 500, NRG delivers innovative solutions that help people, organizations, and businesses achieve their goals, while also advocating for competitive energy markets and customer choice.

With NRG, we have lots of options to fit your lifestyle and needs. You can make the switch on a fixed plan for the first 12 months with no cancellation fees. After two months as an NRG electric customer, you’ll receive a $50 cash back bonus. You can also earn travel rewards and give back with NRG’s Choose to Give program. These are options your utility does NOT offer.

To switch is easy. Have your utility bill handy to complete NRG’s enrollment form. There’s no fee or interruption in your current service to switch. Your local utility will still send your bills and NRG will be listed as your supplier.

Josh has been passionate about weather as long as his memory dates! From watching the Weather Channel at age 7, to making hand-drawn hurricane maps at age 11, starting his first weather site at 13, and founding PWA at 15 and forecasting for the state for the past 9 years, Josh's interest in weather has never dwindled! As difficult as it is, he greatly enjoys forecasting for Pennsylvania due to its countless microclimates. The state is an East Coast severe weather hotspot and nearly always home to the rain/snow line during winter storms!
