Customer feedback from Trustpilot, Google, BBB and the Selectra Reviews network, plus an editorial verdict from our energy team.
Selectra editorial verdict
Starion Energy has a broad multi-state footprint but a material regulatory history — including a 2022 Massachusetts AG settlement and a 2018 Connecticut PURA enforcement action. If you consider Starion, enroll only via the website (never through a door-to-door agent), compare the unit rate against your utility's price-to-compare, read the renewal clause carefully, and check the latest complaint reports on your state PUC website before signing up.
Pros
- 10-jurisdiction electricity footprint — among the broadest in Connecticut-licensed retailers.
- Green plans available with REC matching.
- Dual-fuel option in New York and Ohio.
- Long-established trading history (founded 2002).
Cons
- Material regulatory history: 2022 Massachusetts AG settlement over alleged deceptive marketing, 2018 Connecticut PURA action.
- Variable-rate renewals after fixed-term expiry have been a recurring complaint theme.
- Aggregate customer-review scores skew negative.
- Door-to-door sales practices have generated state PUC complaints — never enroll through an unsolicited agent without verifying the rate first.
Common questions about Starion reviews
Starion Energy reviews — answers
Reliability is best judged across multiple sources, not one platform. Trustpilot and Google reviews skew negative (dissatisfied customers post more often), while BBB ratings reflect complaint handling. The most balanced check: look at the BBB letter grade for complaint resolution, scan recent (last 6 months) Trustpilot reviews for recurring themes, and compare Starion's unit rate against your utility's price-to-compare before signing up.
Retail energy is a complaint-driven category — customers rarely write reviews when their bill arrives correctly, but a billing dispute, a variable-rate surprise, or a renewal price increase often triggers a 1-star review. The same dynamic affects every US retail-energy brand. The BBB complaint-resolution rate and the state public-utility-commission complaint reports (often public) tend to be more representative than aggregate review scores.
