Compare suppliers on the same basic terms — price, contract length, pricing structure, fees, renewal provisions, and termination provisions — rather than just the lowest advertised number. This works hand-in-hand with learning how to compare commercial electricity rates.
Start by comparing the offers on the same basic terms. Look at:
Price
Contract length
Pricing structure
Fees
Renewal provisions
Termination provisions
Other contract-specific terms
It's also important to make sure you're comparing equivalent products. A lower headline price may come with different terms or conditions.
