Everywhere I know of, delivery is still done by the old regulated power company that put in the lines and infrastructure, regardless of you choose as the “provider”. That’s that determines power quality and uptime, the rest is just financial hocus-pocus.

“Everywhere I know of, delivery is still done by the old regulated power company that put in the lines and infrastructure, regardless of you choose as the “provider”. That’s that determines power quality and uptime, the rest is just financial hocus-pocus.’

AND, don’t the “alternative” providers just buy their power from some legitimate company that ACTUALLY generates the power in the first place, thus all the “alternative providers” really do is provide “alternative” billing to the end users?

sounds like the scams back in the day when the phone companies that provided DSL Internet service were forced to sell to “alternative” providers, who did nothing but provide “alternative” billing to end users ...
