Your Direct Energy Frequently Asked Questions

Signing Up with Direct Energy

We recommend contacting your current company to ask about your contract expiration date. You should also learn about cancellation policies for switching to another company.

By law, the local utility company cannot provide different care levels to customers who have chosen an alternate supplier. So you'll receive the same quality of delivery, emergency response, and meter reading from your current utility. Your utility company will not change, just the supplier of your electricity or natural gas.

Direct Energy is a competitive retail supplier of electricity and natural gas that offers different plans (fixed, variable, etc.), terms (1 year, 3 years, etc.) and incentives to customers who sign a contract. Your local distributor is specific to the site location and is responsible for the wires and pipes necessary to deliver electricity or natural gas to your home. 

Future savings depend on fluctuating commodity prices; however, you are not guaranteed savings. 


Our fixed-rate products offer stability and protection from fluctuating energy costs. You receive highly competitive pricing. The fixed-rate stability allows you to budget your energy costs because your rate will not change for your contract term. That means that even when the market rises and falls, your fixed rate will be secure for your contract term.

For more energy savings, get a fixed-rate plan from Direct Energy!
