When I called SECO, they did not know anything about this "offer", which is why I initially thought scam. Now I did not go to the site, but the initial info, did not mention the additional costs. I am all for renewal energy, and in the deregulated states, this seems to work well.
Also, if the 3rd party (arcadia power) were to miss or be late on a payment, what happens, my guess your credit rating gets hit, and you may be required to make a deposit to the electric company. I believe a better solution would be to have the electric company offer a renewal rate for renewal energy.
Sorry if I caused any confusion in this matter. Bottom line if you are looking at this option, be sure you completely understand what you are getting into.
villagetinker you are the village thinker and you called this move by Arcadia . its a scam
