Review from RobynM
Direct Energy Power to Go
| I love the Power to Go program as it helps me to proactively manage my energy consumption. The per KwH rate is competitive with post-pay plans & I get notifications each day, telling me how many KwH used as well as the cost. That way I can easily determine what my "energy vampires" are and kill them! Plus, no surprise bills at the end of the month! If you don't want daily texts you can get email - or both - and you can adjust how frequently they come. I definitely recommend Direct Energy Power to Go to anyone who wants to have the most control possible over their electricity consumption. | |||

Selecting Direct Energy
| I chose Direct Energy because of price and no cancellation fee. Signing up was easy but creating an account and other online experiences were unsatisfactory. | |||

First year cheaper, second year wow
| The fee for this third party provider is double my actual gas bill from PSEG. Was never paying more than 80 per month before switching to them, and wasnt for the first year. Second year? The charge for using them was 80 dollars and my actual energy use was 40. Huge mistake switching to them. Ive promptly switched back. | |||

RIP-OFF
| This company will rip you off I realized my payment was tripling. When I call to find out why they said because I didn't call to renew my plan. My plan went from 9% fixed to 14% variable. I do not recommend this company I will not ever use this company again please stay away from this company... BIG A$$ RIP-OFF!!! NEVER AGAIN!!! WILL CHEAT YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY, AND WON'T EVEN TRY TO ACCOMMODATE YOU. | |||
