How to compare a supplier offer

A supplier offer replaces only this price. The delivery charges of Met-Ed stay the same with any supplier. If an offer is less than the price to compare, you save the difference on each kWh while the offer price stays fixed. Read the contract term, the price after the term, and any monthly or early cancellation fee. The price to compare changes often, so compare the offer with the next value too.

Use the Met-Ed calculator: select "A supplier that I selected" and type the offer price to see your bill with it.
