Find New Brunswick Electricity Suppliers

Consumers in New Brunswick are able to choose their electricity supplier due to the New Jersey Energy Choice Act. While many New Jersey electricity suppliers compete in New Brunswick for new customers, the number of participating choice customers still remains below twenty percent. However, as competitive electricity rates continue to fall compared to the JCPL default rate, customer awareness of energy choice in on the rise.

Due to its location between New York City and Philadelphia, New Brunswick is a city rich in history that was important during colonial times. New Brunswick has since then gone through many changes and transformations. The city has sought to rebuild itself and is part of an urban renewal program in which there is a focus to redo areas in the city’s center in order to make it nicer and more attractable. New Brunswick is home to Rutgers University, which causes the city to have a large percentage of their population in the 18 to 24 range.

With a large young population, people are constantly moving into and out of homes. Currently in New Jersey, though customers can choose their electricity supplier, they are still forced to first set up service with the local utility company Jersey Central Power & Light. Once service is set up through JCPL, a customer can shop for competitive New Jersey residential electricity rates offered by JCPL electricity suppliers. This process can be confusing to people who are new to the New Jersey energy choice market.

Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson, and a large number of pharmaceutical companies have selected New Brunswick as their home for their national headquarters. Many healthcare facilities are located in the city that are designed to provide service to many surrounding New Jersey cities. Some of these facilities located in New Brunswick are Saint Peter’s University Hospital and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. The number of large companies in the area has resulted in increased marketing efforts of electricity suppliers in New Brunswick in an attempt to build their brand name.
