Remind me again what that is...?

Might not be too late for 13.5/36mo

The ones I saw at that rate would only hold for 8 months. I chose one that would lock me in for 36 months, though a bit higher rate (0.135).

I have heard multiple times (including this thread) that you can switch without penalty. My understanding is that the "contract" is the suppliers commitment to that rate for that period.

Go to energizect.com and click on "Supplier Rate FInder"

This will show you all of the alternative and their rates, lock-in periods, and REC percentage.

I chose Think Energy, and it was as simple as clicking the Enroll link, and filling out a form. I had to look closely at my bill to find some of the thinks they needed like billing cycle and name key, but it took all of 5 minutes.

That is good to know. I recall seeing something about "apply here for hardship" when I last logged into Eversource.

I will have to go browse around there and see if I can find anything.

So, given the responses here, I took the plunge with "Think Energy!"

The process was seamless and it does not look like I will have to wait two weeks or anything; according to what I am seeing, it is all done. Specifically, after the last step (click the link in your email to verify...), I got a page that said my bill should be switched within 1-2 billing cycles.

I'd give this comment an award if I had one lying around. Specifically, for the "put a note on your calendar" bit.
I am amazed at the number of people that don't know this little trick. I do this for everything: DL expiration, scheduling annual/bi-annual appointments, etc.

Yeah... I am wondering if there is a huge backlog or something. No idea why suddenly a lot of people might be trying to switch :-)
