OpenStream holds no Pennsylvania PUC licence as an electric generation supplier, broker or marketer, and earns nothing from any supplier.
Pennsylvania licenses everyone in the business of an electric generation supplier, brokers and marketers included. 66 Pa.C.S. § 2809(a), Requirements for electric generation suppliers says: “No person or corporation, including municipal corporations which choose to provide service outside their municipal limits except to the extent provided prior to the effective date of this chapter, brokers and marketers, aggregators and other entities, shall engage in the business of an electric generation supplier in this Commonwealth unless the person or corporation holds a license issued by the commission.”
The Commission's regulations define the terms. 52 Pa. Code § 54.31, Definitions: “Broker - An entity, licensed by the Commission, that acts as an intermediary in the sale and purchase of electric energy but does not take title to electric energy.” And 52 Pa. Code § 54.32(a), Application process: “An EGS may not engage in marketing, or may not offer to provide, or provide retail electricity or electric generation service until it is granted a license by the Commission.”
OpenStream holds no such licence, does not act as an intermediary in any sale, and takes no compensation from any supplier, so the pages here are published information and not brokerage or marketing on a supplier's behalf. If a licence is ever applied for and granted, this page will say so and carry the number.
Every “Go to {supplier}” link goes through our hand-off page, which shows the offer, its listed price at 1,000 kWh and the day it was confirmed, then sends you to the enrolment address PAPowerSwitch lists for that offer. You enrol with the supplier directly. The link carries no affiliate reference and pays nothing. Paying would never change the order: every offer is ranked on its listed generation cost against its utility's Price to Compare, whoever pays.
