Starting from April of this year, the retail sale of low-voltage electricity of 50 kilowatts or less will be liberalized, and electricity consumers (hereinafter referred to as consumers) will be able to freely choose the most suitable plan from a variety of plans.
Until now, only 10 electric power companies in each region were permitted to sell low-voltage electricity.
However, since April of this year, retail sales have become possible for companies registered with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The Agency for Natural Resources and Energy's website publishes registered retail electricity businesses, and as of March 15, more than 200 companies have already registered.
So, how can consumers choose the optimal electricity plan from among the numerous retail electricity providers?
One way to solve this problem is to use an electricity rate plan comparison service.
Most companies offering these services have comparison sites on the Internet.
Comparison sites often provide the most suitable electricity rate plan by inputting information such as the industry, the area where electricity is used, current electricity usage, and electricity rates.
