Yes. Your power stays on. Penn Power still delivers your electricity and sends your bill.
Only the price part of your bill changes.
You can go back to Penn Power's standard price later. Check your contract for a fee to leave early.
Call the company you pick, or sign up on its website. You don't call your utility.
Have your Penn Power bill ready. The company will ask for a number from it.
Look for your customer number on your bill. It is a long number. Give the company every digit.
The new company tells Penn Power for you.
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.

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.
