"Shopping for electric service for your business is different from shopping for your residential service. For many businesses, shopping for a Retail Electric Provider is a negotiated purchase process, similar to the purchase of a large quantity of computers or wholesale materials for manufacturing or business operations." - Power To Choose

Tax
We paid $50 in taxes in the month of September. We need to find out if we're supposed to be paying taxes our our electric bill. Probably not, since we're 501c3.
Update: Got this fixed, they refunded all of the taxes we previous paid and taxes are only $10 now.
