I must tell you Cheri Kloss is amazing! I was thrown into this as the woman who handled it previously retired and I knew nothing.

Cheri took her time and explained everything and I truly appreciate her patience.

I have had tons of calls and now will only work with CES as the level of professionalism is amazing.

Market Expertise:

Following federal and local regulatory changes, monitoring the global energy market, and understanding how all of this affects natural gas prices in your territory is not only time-consuming but likely also not a practical use of your time. Instead, let our energy experts handle this for you, so you can focus on what matters: growing your business.

Choosing the correct plan for your specific needs can be confusing. Depending on several factors such as your rate class, total usage, number of locations, type of business, etc., the type of rate that will fit best will vary. A standard Fixed Rate might be best for many, but a Block and Indexed Rate could benefit a company with a day and night shift, or if your business uses energy very efficiently, getting Custom Pricing could be your best option, etc.

Our goal is to be your long-term energy partner to help your business navigate the energy market for many years to come. After enrolling with us, you are assigned a customer service representative (full time, Mon-Fri), and your energy consultant is going to monitor the market for great times to renew your contract.

We’ve saved our clients 10’s of millions of dollars, and getting a quote from us is fast, easy, and free.

Rhode Island Electric Rates Over Time

Electricity rates in Rhode Island have steadily increased over the past 20 years. If you consider the current state of the global energy market, including the war in Ukraine, Europe shutting down nuclear power plants and transitioning away from Russia’s natural gas, and rampant inflation, energy prices are projected to continue trending upward.

Consumer Energy Solutions is an Energy Broker – Is That a Supplier?

No, Consumer Energy Solutions is not a supplier, nor a utility company. Utility companies maintain and operate the infrastructure of the energy system, including power lines, transformers, and generators. The largest utility in Rhode Island is RI Energy, which provides electricity to homes and businesses.

Energy brokers, like us, work with the top suppliers in every market and are designed to connect the energy supplier with the energy buyer, whether they be a business or private residence. Since we’ve been in business for more than 22 years we have built relationships and trust with these suppliers to get us the best deals possible that we can pass on to you. This means that we not only have access to the best prices in the energy supplier business, but we are able to negotiate for the best rates in every area, and then match the energy buyer with the best possible rate available to them. When a business gets pricing from us, they know that we get quotes from every one of the 25+ energy suppliers in the area, and deliver you the best price.

Our Process

Our entire job is to take the stress and work out of finding the correct energy supplier who will give you the most favorable contract and best price available today. We do all the work and it costs you nothing, all we need is a copy of your bill.

1. With a copy of your bill, we can analyze your historical usage, rate class, zone, and load profile along with the number of accounts you manage to ensure you will receive the best rate(s) your account(s) qualifies for.

If you are currently under contract, we can still help with forward start pricing. We have the capability of locking in today’s low rates for when your current agreement(s) ends.

This will not have any negative effect on your current agreement. In most cases we represent the supplier you are currently with. So, we have the capability of pricing your accounts directly to negotiate on your behalf.

2. We will take this information and get quotes from 25+ suppliers in your area and leverage our relationships to negotiate preferential rates for you then relay that deal to you.

3. We use our knowledge of the current energy market to recommend what type of rate and contract is best for your business.

4. Once we have the agreement between you and the energy supplier we will walk you through the terms and conditions, like legal information and cancellation fees, or answer any other questions you may have before you sign.

5. Once everything is signed you’ll be introduced to one of our customer service representatives who will assist you with any future questions.

Waiting could cost your business thousands!

FAQ

Will I get 2 bills if I switch?

In the majority of cases, no, you will still continue to receive the same bills from your utility company. The only difference is your new supplier will be noted on the bill. 

If you are in an area that requires a separate bill, our energy experts will let you know and answer any additional questions.

How long does it take to switch natural gas or electric providers?

Typically it takes between 15 and 45 days for your utility company to process your supplier change. This means it can take 1 to 2 billing cycles.

Could my business lose power or natural gas supply during the switch?

No. Your utility will always remain responsible for delivering energy to your business. Your utility will simply start delivering energy from your new supplier, so this will never interrupt the flow of energy to your business.
