The little-known way JCP&L customers are cutting their bills - in just 2 minutes
When New Jersey resident Sarah M. opened her latest Jersey Central Power & Light Co. bill, she was stunned — her monthly electricity cost had jumped again. And she’s not alone. As rates keep rising across the state, thousands of customers are feeling the pinch — often without realizing there’s a simple way to pay less.
What many don’t know: JCP&L customers in New Jersey can choose lower electricity rates — without changing their utility company.
Why are rates so high?
JCP&L, like other utility companies, sets a default supply rate. But that rate isn’t always the lowest available — and many customers are automatically enrolled in it.
Due to energy deregulation in states like MA, residents have the legal right to choose a lower rate, while still receiving service from JCP&L.
The good news? You don’t have to search or compare suppliers yourself
That’s where Arbor comes in — a free platform that automatically checks if you’re eligible for a lower electricity rate, finds the best supplier offers available in your area, and helps you switch with zero hassle.
✅ No cost to use

✅ No spam or phone calls
✅ Average savings: up to $593/year
How it works
- Enter your ZIP code and account info securely

- Your new lower rate kicks in automatically — with JCP&L still delivering your electricity
You still get your power through JCP&L. The only thing that changes? The line item on your bill — and the amount you pay.
