presumably, they all feed into the same grid, you just participate in the market for supplier.

What criteria do you use to make your choice?
Right now we pay a generation charge, a transmission charge, a distribution charge, and a transition charge thats ending. I'm assuming by choosing a new supplier it's the generation charge that will actually change, and the rest will actually be the same companies we had, since they own the infrastructure. They are quoting the end price, but only part of that will go to the new "supplier". Actually for homeowners our local, PECO, will go down for less than 500kwh per month, and up 5% for over 500kwh, after the first.
