New Jersey’s energy deregulation law set guidelines separating the supply portion of customer energy bills from energy delivery, which is done by utilities such as Atlantic City Electric. Having the power to choose an energy supplier means customers can purchase their electricity supply from utilities or shop for potentially better rates and plans from suppliers. If they aren’t happy with their service, they may switch to another supplier.

There are more than 3,300 utility companies throughout the United States, the largest of which include Dominion Resources, Duke Energy and NextEra Energy. So what’s the difference between a utility and a supplier?

In short, a utility is responsible for generating and distributing electricity or natural gas to homes and businesses. These companies are also responsible for the power lines distributing electricity. So, if there’s an outage, customers call their utility company.

Suppliers work as a “middle-man” between the utility company and the customer. In a deregulated service area, energy suppliers offer their own electricity rates and contract plans. In doing so, customers can shop competitive rates and find the best plan for their needs.

Customers in Atlantic City can compare rates among suppliers in their service area to find the best rates and plans. Those living in Atlantic City Electric’s service area can choose from Constellation Energy, Direct Energy, and VerdeEnergyUSA.
