Averagely, it may take up to 3–4 days to finish the switching process. 

 

What can I do if I have a fixed contract term with my present provider, and I want to switch?

Some companies have a “break fee” in contracts that are fixed. If you wish to terminate your contract with a provider before your term comes to an end, a break fee will apply. Before switching, please make sure to check the terms and conditions with your current power company provider, and contact them for more details if you have any questions.

In case there is a break fee in your fixed term contract, feel free to connect with your power company and make sure how that fee is specifically applied, or if you could get a better pricing plan.
