1. Who we are
UtilityProviders.com is operated by Utility Providers LLC as an independent electricity, natural-gas, solar, utility-information, and business-energy comparison/referral website. We are not a utility, government agency, or automatically an authorized representative of every company displayed on the site.
2. How UtilityProviders may be compensated
Depending on the page, provider, and relationship, UtilityProviders may receive compensation when you:
- click a provider, affiliate, or enrollment link;
- call through a tracked phone number;
- submit a qualified lead or quote request;
- complete an enrollment, switch, solar consultation, or other qualifying transaction;
- engage with a sponsored placement or advertising relationship that is clearly identified.
Compensation may be a flat referral fee, lead fee, commission, advertising fee, or another agreed commercial arrangement. The amount can vary by provider or product.
3. What compensation means for comparisons
Commercial relationships can affect which providers we are able to connect with, which offers include a direct call-to-action, and how certain placements are monetized. They should not change the factual terms we display for a specific plan. We aim to label sponsored or compensated placements clearly when the commercial relationship would not otherwise be obvious.
Not every provider or utility shown on UtilityProviders compensates us. Some are included for market context, educational comparison, or utility-territory identification.
4. Provider ranking and placement
Where a page ranks or highlights providers, the order may consider factors such as availability, service area, plan attributes, data completeness, user relevance, commercial relationship, or editorial judgment. Unless expressly stated, placement should not be interpreted as an exhaustive market ranking or a claim that one provider is objectively best for every user.
5. Prices and fees
Using UtilityProviders generally does not add a separate UtilityProviders markup to the provider's plan price shown in a comparison. However, providers may have their own fees, taxes, utility delivery charges, deposits, enrollment conditions, cancellation fees, solar financing costs, or other terms. Confirm the provider's complete current terms before enrolling.
6. No provider endorsement implied
Displaying a provider, utility, supplier, regulator, solar company, or logo does not by itself mean that company endorses UtilityProviders or that UtilityProviders is its agent, dealer, or authorized representative. Where a formal relationship exists and is relevant to the user, we may identify it more specifically.
7. Sponsored and affiliate links
Links that generate compensation may be tracked so a partner can attribute the referral. We use disclosures near relevant content or in this site-wide disclosure so users can understand that a material commercial relationship may exist. Our goal is for disclosures to be easy to notice and understand rather than hidden in unrelated fine print.
8. Provider data and public sources
Plan and market information may be maintained manually from public provider websites, utility publications, regulator resources, provider-supplied information, partner feeds, or other public sources. Because energy plans can change quickly, displayed information may become outdated between reviews. Final availability, price, contract, fees, and eligibility must be confirmed with the provider or authorized enrollment platform.
9. Savings claims and examples
Savings estimates, calculators, examples, or promotional statements are illustrative unless expressly stated otherwise. Actual savings depend on usage, utility charges, taxes, contract terms, current supply rate, future market conditions, and other factors. We do not guarantee savings.
10. Calls, forms, and lead routing
When you submit a form or choose a call-to-action requesting provider or advisor follow-up, information may be routed to the relevant partner or service provider as described in our Privacy Policy. Consent language associated with a specific form controls the communications authorized by that submission.
11. Editorial independence
We distinguish between commercial relationships and our obligation to present plan terms and market context accurately. Compensation does not authorize a partner to rewrite our independent educational content or require us to present inaccurate pricing information.
12. Questions about a relationship
