  4. Business Owners Have The Power To ChooseBenefits of The Power to Choose: • Multiple suppliers - Instead of being restricted to the local utility offer, customers can choose from multiple suppliers. This brings new, more attractive offers to market. • Increased control - Competitive energy supply options show businesses the big picture of their overall energy expenditures, enable a greater variety of energy strategies and provide increased control over energy budgets. • An educated market - In a regulated system, the utility company manages the energy on behalf of users with little transparency or accountability. In a competitive environment, customers are more informed about their purchasing options, and play a pivotal role in the evolution of the market. Knowledgeable consumers help guide the marketplace, highlight issues, identify areas where improvements are needed and spur innovation. • Motivation to create new products - Suppliers don’t compete on price alone - innovation is a critical differentiator. Competitive suppliers are constantly developing options to meet present and future customer needs, such as online energy analysis services and environmentally-friendly energy plans.
