RESA Encourages U.S. Energy Consumers to Shop on National Energy Shopping Day

Homes and businesses located in restructured states can explore energy plans, compare options and choose a gas and electric supplier

HARRISBURG, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Retail Energy Supply Association (RESA), the national trade association representing competitive retail energy suppliers, is marking the sixth annual National Energy Shopping Day by encouraging Americans to take advantage of their power to choose.

Recognized every year on the first day of summer and included in Chase’s Calendar of Events, National Energy Shopping Day promotes consumer awareness and engagement in competitive energy markets. The day serves as a reminder for individuals and businesses in states with retail choice to shop for energy plans that reflect their personal preferences, whether that means seeking renewable options, locking in fixed rates or finding budget-friendly pricing.

“Shopping for energy is one of the most overlooked ways consumers can make a real impact on their energy bills, their sustainability goals and take control of their energy choices,” said Tracy McCormick, executive director of RESA. “We believe that every consumer deserves more than one monopoly option. They deserve the right to choose.”

Currently, 14 states and the District of Columbia allow consumers to select their own electricity and/or natural gas supplier. However, a national survey by Ragnar Research Partners reveals a significant disconnect: 74% of Americans want to choose their energy provider, while only 28% currently have the option.

RESA offers free, easy-to-use tools at RESAusa.org to help consumers:

• Determine if energy choice is available in their state
• Where to compare energy providers and plans
• How to shop for energy
• Understand key contract terms and rate structures

Energy choice isn’t just about shopping—it's about empowerment, competition and innovation. RESA remains committed to educating consumers, supporting transparent marketplaces and expanding access to energy choice nationwide.
