WHY NOW

So you can start saving money on your electric bill as soon as possible. The Standard Offer Service from National Grid in Rhode Island expires on December 31, 2009. Business customers who have not selected a competitive supplier by the expiration date will still be supplied electricity from National Grid. Rates however may fluctuate more with market prices and businesses should be prepared for more volatile electricity markets.

providing opportunities for savings and benefits over and above what they are able to receive on
their own, truly providing profits to their bottom line. This program underscores our commitment to our members, and ultimately the strength of the Rhode Island Business Community.
