If you’re not a fan of the JCPL<\/strong> BGS rate <\/strong>or your current supplier then you\u2019re not stuck with them. In fact, if you\u2019re on the JCPL<\/strong> BGS then it\u2019s super easy to switch<\/a> to a third-party plan. So if you\u2019re not happy with your New Jersey electric<\/a> rate, let\u2019s tear down how to switch your JCPL<\/strong> electric provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is The BGS And Why Should You Know?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re shopping for a new electricity provider, the first thing you\u2019re probably going to look at is their electricity rate. But how do you know if it\u2019s a good deal? That\u2019s where the BGS comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jersey Central Power & Light<\/strong><\/a> sets the base generation service, or BGS. This is dependent on whether it\u2019s the summer, or winter months. You can find the current BGS on your JCPL<\/strong> bill<\/a>. This works as a sort of \u201cprice to compare\u201d. You\u2019ll use this to see how much you\u2019ll be paying. If you\u2019re currently with a third party, you\u2019ll use your current rate instead. But it\u2019s a good idea to keep on top of the BGS so you can make sure you\u2019re getting a good deal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One last thing. The BGS and rates you\u2019ll see online are just the price for the electricity you use. It does not include JCPL\u2019s delivery charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making The Switch To Your New Electric Provider<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, it\u2019s super easy to make the switch to your new provider. All you have to do choose the best NJ electricity plan<\/a> for your needs on our site. Just fill in your address and utility info to make sure you’re eligible for the rate. Your new provider contacts JCPL<\/strong> and gets your account switched over. Next, you’ll receive a letter in the mail from your previous provider, be that a third-party or JCPL<\/strong> to confirm the switch. After that you\u2019ll have 7 days to change your mind. Remember that New Jersey law<\/a> prohibits any energy supplier from charging you to switch your provider.\u00a0 The whole process wraps up in about 1-2 billing cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why It Takes So Long To Switch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Part of the reason it can take up to 2 billing cycles to switch your provider is it\u2019s based off your meter read dates. This is because JCPL<\/strong> has to process your last payments, and transfer your account info. Thankfully, JCPL <\/strong>tells you what your meter read dates are<\/a> so you can plan ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
