How does this work – will I save money?
Energy deregulation is something that is initially made possible by the Public Service Commission of each state.

This could potentially mean more money in your pocket.

Are you affiliated with my utility?
Oasis Energy is not affiliated with your utility but is an authorized energy supplier that is licensed in New York (Con Edison), Maryland (BG&E), and Pennsylvania (PPL) to participate in their energy choice programs.

Is Oasis Energy in competition with my utility? Will my utility still provide me with good service?
As a supplier, we’re not a competitor. Your utility promotes the customer choice program and encourages you to enroll. You will remain with your utility and receive the same level of service you always have. Your utility will continue to read your meter, deliver your electricity, provide emergency service and send you your bill every month just like they always have. The only thing that changes is your supplier.

Do you have to check my credit?
Depending on your service location and product selection, a credit check may or may not be necessary.

Will it cost me anything to sign up?
You will be switched at the time of your next meter read so there will be no associated enrollment fees when you choose Oasis Energy.

Should I call to cancel service with my current supplier?
It is not necessary to notify anyone of the switch. Once you enroll, sit back and relax. Oasis Energy will do the work for you.

When will I become an Oasis Energy customer?
If the enrollment is a switch from another energy supplier, depending on when you enroll, the change will most likely occur on the date of your next scheduled meter read or subsequent meter read. Soon after enrollment, you will receive a welcome package in the mail confirming this estimated date, along with a copy of our Terms Of Service. The same process applies to a move-in (connecting power for the first time).

When will I receive my first utility bill showing Oasis Energy as my new supplier?
If the enrollment is a switch from another supplier, Oasis Energy will most likely show on your next utility bill following your customer effective date. The same process applies to a move-in (connecting power for the first time).

What charges will I see on my bill from Oasis Energy?
Along with your energy usage charge and any relevant taxes, a small customer fee may be charged (where applicable).

Will I lose power while you are switching me?
If the location currently has power, there will be no interruption of service during the switch process.

What happens at the end of the agreement?
Upon completion of the term, your account will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis. You may call Oasis Energy at contract end to negotiate a new agreement if you wish. Your Terms Of Service will explain the process.

What if I move?
Customers may be able to move their contracts with them when they relocate within the service territory.

Will I be tied to any kind of contract?
Like many other service providers, to guarantee our supply services, the Terms Of Service you agree to when you enroll will be in force for a specific period of time. It is for your protection as well.

Will my budget (level) billing continue?
Budget billing will continue on delivery and supply portion of bill if you are currently being invoiced via consolidated billing (all accounts on one bill).

RENEWABLE ENERGY QUESTIONS:

What is Renewable Energy?
Energy sources that are either inexhaustible (solar, wind, geothermal) or replenished over a short period of time (hydro, biomass) are considered renewable. Coal and Natural gas are examples of energy sources that are not renewable because they are consumed at substantially faster rates than they can be replenished.

Where does my renewable electricity come from?
It comes from renewable sources such as wind, solar, and hydro energy facilities located right here in the U.S.

Will my electricity actually be renewable?
You won’t have electricity from these renewable facilities delivered directly to your house. Here’s how it works: Oasis Energy will purchase one REC (renewable energy credit) for every 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity you consume. Each ‘REC’ represents the environmental attribute associated with the applicable amount of renewable power produced from these facilities. Your purchase ensures that renewable energy equal to your portion of annual electricity usage gets produced by renewable facilities right here in the United States. Put in simple terms: when you purchase our 100% renewable electricity products, you are offsetting 100% of your annual electricity usage with an equivalent amount of renewable energy.

What is the breakdown by percentage of Oasis Energy’s renewable product? What percentage of your product is wind? Is solar? Is hydro? Is biomass?
The combination of energy sources used can vary. Oasis Energy is guaranteeing that the electricity used is offset by 100% renewable energy. Oasis Energy makes no guarantees as to the breakdown and volume of each type of source. Rest assured the product is 100% renewable energy.

What is Wind Energy?
Wind energy is generated by giant blades connected to turbines (giant windmills) that turn from blowing wind.

What is Solar Energy?
Solar energy is produced from the sun’s power. Sunlight conversion to electricity happens either directly or indirectly, and is the only renewable energy source that is 100% pollution free since it does not emit pollution when produced or consumed. Solar power is also the only source that is inexhaustible (will never run out).

What is Hydro?
Hydroelectricity is the production of electrical power through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water. The force of the water drives a water turbine and generator.

What are Carbon Offsets?
Buying carbon offsets contributes to the overall reduction of carbon dioxide ( CO2) emissions. Individuals and businesses can purchase carbon offsets in an effort to reduce their ‘carbon footprint’ down to zero.
