What RateWatchdog is

RateWatchdog is an independent, informational service that tracks electricity rates and rate cases and offers a free bill-comparison tool. We are not a utility, an electricity supplier, a broker, or a government agency, and we take no supplier commissions.

Not financial advice

Everything on this site is general information, not personalized financial, legal, or energy-procurement advice. Rates and rate cases change; figures are shown with a source and a last-reviewed date, but you should confirm the current rate with your utility or your supplier before making a decision.

Accuracy & "as is"

We work hard to keep figures accurate and sourced, but we provide the site "as is," without warranties, and we aren't liable for decisions made based on it. The bill audit's estimate depends on the numbers you enter and your usage — it's a guide, not a guarantee. If a figure is wrong or out of date, tell us and we'll fix it: [email protected].

Third-party links

We link to utilities, state commissions, and official shopping sites for your convenience. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content — and, again, we earn nothing if you act on them.

Disclaimer of warranties & limitation of liability

The site and its data are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, RateWatchdog is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, or for any decision made in reliance on the site, and our total liability for any claim relating to the site will not exceed US $100.

Trademarks & company names

Utility, parent-company, and electricity-supplier names and marks are the property of their respective owners. We use them only to identify and comment on those companies; no affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement is implied. RateWatchdog is independent and not affiliated with any utility or supplier.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state in which RateWatchdog is established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
