Questions
How do I know which utility I have?
It is printed at the top of your electric bill. Many areas have more than one provider, sometimes on the same road, so go by the bill rather than your town name.
Can I switch power companies?
Generally no. In North Carolina your provider is set by where you live. What you can change is how much you buy from them, with solar, a battery or better efficiency.
