AKRON, Ohio, March 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Residential electric customers of ComEd can now sign up with FirstEnergy Solutions to receive the lowest price on electric generation for a 24-month term currently available. By enrolling now, residents can lock in a fixed price of 5.65 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) on electric generation through March 2014. This is a 26 percent savings over ComEd's current average residential rate of 7.73 cents per kWh.
"Shopping for an electric generation supplier is one of the easiest ways to save money," said Dave Hennekes, vice president of Retail Marketing for FirstEnergy Solutions. "Through this program, the average residential customer can expect to save around $390 over the enrollment period, based on today's rates. And because there is no cancellation fee, there is no risk."
