Can you contract separately for the energy and delivery in Florida? In Ohio, you can change the energy provider and get a rate per kWh (or hundred cubic feet for gas), but you only have your local utilities which charge a fixed fee per month plus a per unit delivery cost. Never accept the default contract for the energy because it is generally a ripoff rate.

Same in my state. But many of the alternate providers are legalized scammers.
They do offer energy rates lower than the old utility companies do. That rate might be up to 20% lower. Sound good. Then when the introductory period expires, they jack their rate way up, making them more expensive than the old utility company. It’s legal because alternative company prices aren’t regulated.
A nimble consumer can cancel just before the end of the introductory time period. But good luck getting through to the cancellation department.
Nope.
