With a rate of 4.98 cents per kWh, its price means you could save more money overall. However, while it has a low price it also has a $100 cancellation fee. This means that if you still want to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohenergyratings.com\/ohio-electricity-rates-by-city\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shop for a cheaper electricity plan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, expect to pay to leave the contract early. On the other hand, a good reason to stay is that\u00a0<strong>Santanna<\/strong> does offer a rewards program for customers.

Like the <\/span><b>Safe Harbor 12<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it has no cancellation fee leaving you free to change if you see a better deal. However, <\/span><b>Direct Energy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also offers more convenience to customers. By going to <\/span><b>Direct Energy\u2019s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> site, you can see your usage and a prediction of your usage by the end of the month.
