Questions people ask

What is Duquesne Light's standard price?

It is the price you pay if you never picked another company.

Today it is 14.14 cents per kWh. A kWh is one unit of electricity (kWh on your bill).

Your bill may call it the Price to Compare.

It usually changes on June 1 and December 1.

Is it safe to switch?

Yes. Your power stays on. Duquesne Light still delivers your electricity and sends your bill.

Only the price part of your bill changes.

You can go back to Duquesne Light's standard price later. Check your contract for a fee to leave early.

How do I switch?

Call the company you pick, or sign up on its website. You don't call your utility.

Have your Duquesne Light bill ready. The company will ask for a number from it.

Look for the Supplier Agreement ID in the Account Detail box at the top right of your bill. It has 10 digits. It is not your account number.

The new company tells Duquesne Light for you.

How long do I have to change my mind?

You have 3 business days to cancel for free after you get the new company's plan papers.

Weekends and holidays don't count.

To cancel, call the new company, write to them or cancel online.

What happens when a price plan ends?

The company must send you a first notice 45 to 60 days before your plan ends.

A second notice must come by mail at least 30 days before it ends.

Come back to Judy Saves when the notice comes. We will check your choices again.
