Deregualtion demystified....
Deregulation allows for companies other than the public utilities to offer electric power to consumers. This allows for competition that can lower prices. It's a brave new world of choice!
This month, Jim Sweeney,of HomeTronics Lifestyles, will be talking about deregulation and how it affects your electricity generation choices. Jim will suggest how to save up to 20% on the generation portion of your bill. You can even bring your electric bill to review. HomeTronics Lifestyles provides home technology services, and installs and services energy management systems, solar thermal and lighting control. Jim serves as a board member on the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Fairfield County and is a Certified Green Professional (CGP) from the National Association of Home Builders. He is also co-founder of The Green Team CT, which believes that, "green-built homes help our planet, and that using sustainable and renewable resources is the responsible thing to do."
