There seems to be a huge margin on those things, which bring all kinds of sleazy tactics for third party marketing companies.
I had a call from a guy claiming to be from PECO (my power co) with a good deal to switch off of PECO. Indeed we do have alternate generation supplier options, but this smelled. So I asked him several times if he worked for them and he insisted. Finally i agreed and he wanted to route me to a neutral, recorded line, agreement gathering company, but he said it would identify as "xyz energy". Whoops, deal's off, fat liar.
