    Recent CleanChoice Energy reviews

    • J., a reviewer from Brockport, New York: "BEWARE! In 36 months I was with them, my 34 months the rate increased. 1 month stayed the same. 1 month went down by a fraction of a percent. Deceptive advertising and marketing. My (average $100 bill), climbed to $450 in 36 months. I blamed it on COVID, and the market... when I compared to my neighbours, we quickly realized that we were scammed. A strongly worded complaint only got me 6 months' difference refunded. Write to your State Attorney General, and the Public Utility Commission. Cite fair pricing, and deceptive/predatory marketing in any complaint. Also, they produce no clean energy... the purchase "energy credits", and market them to you as them producing clean energy through co-operations."
    • Michele, a reviewer from Morris Plains, New Jersey: "I signed on as it was advertised at 11-14 cents klw. It jumped to 23 cents, $182 more than jcpl would have charged on the same bill. Ridiculous! I plan to call them but this is insane. Do not sign up with CleanChoice. $584 for one month!!"
    • Biff, a reviewer from Lowell, Massachusetts: "The 'fixed rate' has begun increasing over the past year from .226 to .286, to where it is now 25% more than my standard supplier. I understand that Trump may be shutting down the wind farms, but I don't believe we should be paying for it, especially unasked."
