What is the difference between Direct Energy and my local utility company?
Direct Energy is a retail supplier of electricity and natural gas (depending on your location), and your local distributor is a regulated entity that delivers electricity or natural gas to your home. Direct Energy is able to purchase the electricity or natural gas on the competitive market and sell it to customers. Your local distributor continues to deliver that electricity or natural gas to your home.

All customers are free to purchase natural gas services from the default supply provider or from a retailer of their choice and to purchase electricity services from the regulated rate provider or from a retailer of their choice. The delivery of natural gas and electricity to you is not affected by your choice. If you change who you purchase natural gas services or electricity services from, you will continue receiving natural gas and electricity from the distribution company in your service area.
