How to switch your Hampton CDP electricity provider

Since Maryland's Electric Customer Choice and Competition Act passed in 1999, residents have gained the power to choose their electricity supplier rather than being locked into their local utility company.

Switching your electricity provider involves five straightforward steps:

Compare rates from multiple suppliers using resources like MD Electric Choice website
Select a plan that matches your needs (fixed-rate, variable-rate, or renewable)
Enroll with your chosen supplier, who'll manage the change
Review and confirm the written agreement from your supplier
Wait 1-2 billing cycles for plan activation

You'll need to provide at least 72 hours notice for any service changes, and your local utility company will continue handling power distribution and infrastructure.

Best time to switch electric companies in Hampton CDP, Maryland?

Timing your switch to a new energy provider in Hampton CDP can considerably impact your potential savings and service experience.

Your best opportunities to switch include:

Before peak seasons (summer/winter) to lock in better rates

Hampton CDP's deregulated electricity market

The state's 1999 Electric Customer Choice and Competition Act divided the electricity industry into three segments:

When you don't select a retail supplier, you'll receive Standard Offer Service (SOS) from your utility at regulated rates.

Types of electricity plans in Hampton CDP, MD
