About

Who is CleanChoice Energy?

Registered as CleanChoice Energy, Inc., CleanChoice Energy uses this legal name for state public-utility-commission filings and customer contracts. The trading name on bills is the shorter, more recognisable form.

The company is headquartered in Washington, D.C., where it runs senior management, customer operations and regulatory liaison with state commissions.

CleanChoice Energy was established in 2012. A longer track record means more years operating under state-commission rules and a wider history of customer feedback, billing and regulatory interactions.

CleanChoice Energy operates independently — it is not part of a larger corporate group. This typically means faster decision-making but less wholesale-market scale.

Community-solar subscriptions

Outside the retail-supply business: subscriptions to community-solar projects in eligible states, paying a discount on the utility bill in exchange for project capacity.

Contact

Reach CleanChoice Energy customer service

CleanChoice Energy's customer service handles enrollment questions, billing, switching and complaints. Have your account number from a recent bill ready to speed up the call.

CleanChoice is the supply company — your local utility (Eversource, National Grid, PSE&G, Pepco, ComEd, BGE, etc.) still delivers the power and handles outages.
Pricing tends to be a small premium over utility default service in exchange for the 100% renewable matching; the value pitch is the environmental attribute, not bill savings.
Watch out for variable-rate roll-overs at the end of fixed-rate terms — set a calendar reminder to renew or re-enroll.

Frequently asked

CleanChoice Energy — answers to common questions

CleanChoice Energy is regulated by the public utility commission in each state where it operates. Reliability is best judged against your own usage profile: read recent reviews, confirm the customer-service hours match when you actually need to call, and compare the unit rate against the utility's price-to-compare for your zip code.

Plans can typically be enrolled directly on CleanChoice Energy's website or by calling 1-800-218-5680. Before signing up, always compare the unit rate (¢/kWh for electricity, $/therm for gas) against your utility's price-to-compare for your zip code.

You can switch your retail supplier at any time, though early termination fees (typically $50-$200) may apply if you are on a fixed-rate plan and within the contract term. Check your enrollment letter or Terms of Service for the exact figure. Switching back to your default utility supply is always free.
