I rent, can I sign up for a retail energy plan?

Yes, usually. The person who pays the electricity bill has control over the electric contract. If the electricity bill comes to you, in your name, and you pay it directly, then you have the right to lower your rate by switching providers. We recommend signing up for a contract that does not extend past your lease or renter's agreement to avoid possible early termination fees when you leave.
