The other problem with this crap shoot is if the company you choose is strong enough to handle a bad bet on their part.... so far IIRC 4 companies have gone under and their customers have been put to the provider of last resort..
I am one of those customers.... my last bill I paid 21.1 cents per KWH... but had a 'contract' of 11.1 cents... it cost me $147 in one month for choosing the wrong company...
Now I am in the spot... and expect to get the 16 to 18 cent that is happening... but since I am hoping to move soon, did not want to lock in a rate...
The funny part of this whole unregulated market is that WIND power (or any green) always is priced higher than gas or coal... but how can the wind cost more  ?
