ABOUT DYNEGY AND CUSTOMER CHOICE

Does Dynegy offer plans where I live or work?

Dynegy currently serves over one million customers throughout the Midwest and Northeastern United States. View the areas we serve.  

Deregulation means that you have the power to choose who supplies electricity to your home or business. By choosing a supplier like Dynegy, you can enjoy a competitive, fixed rate that’s guaranteed for the length of your plan. Your local utility will continue to provide regular service without interruption, as well as handle any services issues and outages.

When wholesale electricity prices are lower due to market conditions, you can capitalize on those competitive market conditions. In turn, you get those efficiencies and savings. Local utilities operate differently and are not able to deliver in the same manner.

ABOUT DYNEGY CASH REWARDS

The Dynegy Cash Rewards plan is a fixed rate product that offers customers 5% cash back on electricity charges every 12 month for the length of your term.

You earn 5% cash back in the form of a prepaid debit card that will be mailed to you annually within 8-12 weeks of your anniversary date. Cash back is based on the electricity usage you're actually billed and have paid for in the previous 12 month period on the Dynegy Cash Rewards plan.

There's no early termination fee with this product.

You'll receive your reward card annually within 8-12 weeks of your anniversary date for the length of your Dynegy Cash Rewards product.

Yes, before using your card you'll need to activate it by calling the phone number on the back.

If you move from your current home, you can take your Dynegy Cash Rewards plan with you as long as you move within the Dynegy service territory, but rates may change based on your location. You’ll still get any cash back you earned for the term length. If you move and choose not to continue service with Dynegy or choose a different Dynegy plan, you forfeit any cash back you might have earned during your term.

Dynegy will not replace a reward card that's been lost or stolen.
