What is Just Energy?

Just Energy is an electric and natural gas provider that serves residential and commercial customers. The company specializes in energy efficiency solutions.

Just Energy has a limited service area — in the U.S., it offers services in:

  • California
  • Illinois
  • Indiana
  • Maryland
  • Massachusetts
  • Michigan
  • New Jersey
  • New York
  • Ohio
  • Pennsylvania
  • Texas

In Canada, the company serves customers in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan.

If you live in one of these areas, there are many benefits to using Just Energy for your gas and electricity needs.

Just Energy plans

Just Energy offers multiple plans with varying contract lengths and price points to help customize a solution for any customer.

  • Secured-rate supply plans charge the same price per kilowatt hour or therm each month for the entire length of your contract. However, the monthly bill fluctuates based on how much gas or electricity you use. This plan is good for customers interested in protecting their price per kilowatt-hour or therm from changing, even when the price of the commodity changes in the energy market.
  • Variable-rate supply plans are flexible because you are not locked into a monthly payment. With this plan, the amount you pay for your electricity or natural gas is based on the current market prices for gas and electricity in your area.
  • Prepaid supply plans are similar to prepaid cell phone plans. You can purchase your gas and electric supply upfront without a deposit or contract. This is a good option for those with no credit or low credit or who are temporary residents. There are no long-term contracts.
  • Predict-a-bill plans let customers pay a fixed amount for energy each month based on average use. This budget-friendly plan keeps the monthly rate the same regardless of consumption.

The company also has more specific plans that customers can choose based on their budgets and energy consumption levels. Plans vary by location, but some of the most popular plans include:

  • Base Saver III plan: This is a budget-friendly plan with a fixed electricity rate as low as 7.6 cents per kWh when you use an average of 1000 kWh of power.
  • Just 400 Plus plan: This plan gives customers a $200 credit on their winter bills when energy consumption is the highest.
  • Just Energy Purely Green 24 plan: A 24-month plan that provides power from 100% renewable energy sources. It offers a fixed rate for the entire length of the contract.
  • Simple Rate plan: A 36-month plan that provides a fixed rate. This is ideal for those who want a long-term contract without any surprises or rate hikes.

Just Energy rates

The price of electricity is constantly changing, and rates vary depending on your geographical location. At the time of publishing, Hawaii is the most expensive market in the country for electricity at 34 centers per kWh and Washington state is the least expensive at 9.35 cents.

California, Massachusetts and New York rank as some of the most expensive places for electricity, which is why many people in these states turn to companies like Just Energy to help them cut costs.

For example, In Texas, Just Energy plans typically run anywhere from 10.4 cents per kWh to 12.3 cents per kWh at the time of publishing. To determine how much Just Energy can save you on your gas and electric bill, speak with a Just Energy representative for prices in your area.

There is no penalty if you cancel your plan within 30 days of signing, but canceling after that costs $50. There is also a one-time penalty (not to exceed 5%) on a delinquent bill for electric service. Other fees to consider include:

  • Manual payment fee: A charge assessed on certain products when a payment is made through a method other than JE-Aut0-Pay.
  • Disconnection fee: A fee assessed if your service is disconnected.
  • Exit fee: A fee assessed if your contract is ended early due to you breaching the contract.
  • Insufficient funds charge: A fee assessed for returned payments.
  • JustGreen charge: A fee for the level of JustGreen you select when signing up with Just Energy.

    I absolutely would not do business with this company. They have predatory pricing. Here in Michigan, I signed up with them and on my bill for February 2026, they charged me $10.44 per MCF and Consumers Energy charge for the same period was $2.98, and for March, Just Energy is at $10.44, while Consumers Energy is at $3.63. On what planet does Just Energy think this is fair pricing. They sell you on this hook that they lock you in at a lower price. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE. BUNCH OF CROOKS!!!!!

    I signed up with Just Energy in Sam’s Club in March of 2025. The sales rep was showing me bills that totaled $45 a month for electricity services. So I reluctantly made the switch in Sam’s against my better judgment. I was proven right. Not only were my bills more expensive they flat out lied to me about there being no fees to cancel or switch. This is a horrible, deceitful company.

      BUYER BEWARE! This company is a SCAM. They cornered me at Sam's and told me how much money I would save by switching, so I did like an idiot. My bills instantly more than doubled. I am a property manager and have a relationship with someone from Reliant and he looked at my bill and said my rate was higher than their highest short term commercial rate! Their support (supposed Sams VIP line) is someone overseas who has no idea how to help, and here is the kicker-they are deceptive. If you don't believe me, go look. On their website, they claim to have a 4.8 star rating and they insinuate it is from Consumer Affairs and Google. They have Google reviews disabled! And on Consumer Affairs it is 1.3 stars! I found NONE of the reviews on their website on Consumer Affairs. They are a FRAUD. I am paying the $175 ETF to get away from them or my summer bills will be over $1000!

      If zero stars were possible that is what I’d give. I’ve been paying energy bills since I was 18, and at 46, never have I experienced an energy company as horrendous as this. I regret the day I signed up in Sam’s Club… It’s a monthly regret. I called to change my plan a few months ago and asked specifically about my contract and whether or not changing my plan would extend it. I’m trying to get away from this company as soon as humanly possible without a penalty. The rep lied and told me it wouldn’t affect things, I later find out that my plan is now 2 years from the change date. Their billing practices are confusing and borderline abusive. They treat you like a second rate citizen. If you are thinking about signing up, do yourself a favor, don’t!!!!

      I am extremely dissatisfied with my experience with Just Energy. A salesperson selected a plan for me and represented it as a good fit. That recommendation resulted in a $698 electric bill for a single month — nearly three times my normal bill. The rate structure and potential for such a drastic increase were never clearly disclosed. I relied on the salesperson’s guidance, which proved to be misleading and financially harmful. This experience reflects deceptive sales practices and a lack of transparency around pricing. When I contacted Just Energy to cancel the plan and requested a reasonable payment arrangement due to the unexpected and excessive charge, my request was denied. No effort was made to resolve the situation or acknowledge the misleading nature of the original sales interaction. My only option was to pay in full or be sent to collections and ruin my credit. Stay away!

      Company literally disconnected my home service due to membership issue that didn’t exist, then told me they called and emailed me about issue. Nowhere did I receive a call or a email from them. I then was forced to open a new account and start over due to their billing department.

      Honestly fell for the whole thing, them standing in Walmart explaining, it was too good to be true. Our gas bill is so much more now because of Just Energy, they say they’ll save you money which is a huge lie as they buy the gas from the company & uses the piles to send it to your house but charge more per therm. “You’re locked in a rate” of 70¢ when the gas company is charging only 40¢. I honestly hope no one else gets screwed as we did. It takes them 5 days to put themselves on your next bill but takes them 30-60 days (1-2 billing cycles) to take you off? Shady as ever. It is not worth the stress, this company doesn’t save you money at all.

      This place is a scam!! The government needs to crack down on them. Someone signed my 90 year old father up to Just Energy without his knowledge or permission. They said it was signed up at Walmart. Fake phone number and email. Get this my dad can’t walk. We received our energy bill from our energy company with added charges. They sign this account up with Just Energy without ID or any proof not even an account # I called them and they said it takes 2 months to cancel it to pay it and later it would be refunded. Why pay and it’s clearly fraud. Cancel it and call my carrier and credit the account. They refuse to! I called our carrier DTE and nothing they can do! What kind of illegal stuff is this!! Filed a complaint with Better Business Bureau! Next contacting local news! And filing a lawsuit in small claims court!!

      I fell for Just Energy in Sam's Club, the young salesperson told me I could cancel anytime and save money on my bills, and get a $45 sam's club gift card. I usually don't fall for these types of services, however I felt for the young salesperson and thought she was being honest about saving money. That was a big fat lie - the rates per Kwh were 5 cents more (17.09 vs. 11.91), overall I figure I gave Just Energy at least $300-400 in the 7 months they have been providing "service" (they don't produce anything, just bill so I don't know their value).

      In Dec. I my bill was $97 more than it would have been if I did not use Just Energy. I'm annoyed with Sam's Club and Just Energy. I called Just Entergy and the offered a 14 cent rate. WTH - why didn't they just give me the lower rate to begin with. They are hoping people don't notice, and I may not have if their rate wasn't so obviously high (I noticed $100 over, but may have ignored $25 over leaving me a a customer). So switch to Just Energy if you want to pay more for electric.

      If I could leave a minus 10, I would. This is hands down the WORST company I have ever dealt with. I have been paying bills for 40 years and the way they handle their accounts is ridiculous. Their contract terms are ridiculous, their online system is the worst!!! They won't let you pay your bill online if there is an amount due. I get paid before the due date, so I go online to schedule the payment and the system won't let me do it. I have to call them to pay the bill. I work 80 hours a week, I can't be on the phone paying by bill in the middle of the day! I am an adult, if I want to pay more than the amount on my bill, I should be able to. I HATE this place!
