Seamless Transition
| This switch to Direct Energy was seamless. I had a previous provider and the initial sign up was painful and I experienced delays. Direct Energy did everything correctly the first time. | |||

What Happened?
| Several months ago I 'switched' my power supplier to your company- so far the switch has not happened. What is the point of putting me to the inconvenience of switching power providers when you do not follow through? The latest bill a few weeks ago STILL HAS not made the switch! | |||

Hello Nancy. We totally understand your concern regarding the high bill on your account, and we would love to take a closer look and help you solve this matter. Please notate that on your fixed rate plan the energy charge will be the same, no matter how many kilowatts you use during the month, however, the average price on your plan can fluctuate depending on how much energy has been consumed. All of the fixed-rate plans offered are based on a consumption of 2000 kWh per month and all of the rates includes energy charges (which are from the provider, in this case, us) and delivery charges (which are from the Utility in your area, because they are in charge of the distribution of the electricity that we provide to you). We value your business with Direct Energy, and we will be more than glad to help you. Please feel free to get in contact with us, we will do our best to clarify all of your doubts. We look forward to continuing serving you for many more years to come! We'll be waiting for you. Best regards! - Marta / Digital Care
