How New Jersians Can Manage Energy Costs This Summer
We know managing energy costs is important to you. As we work to provide you with the safe, reliable power you need and deserve, we're also here to offer information and resources to help you take control of your costs. On June 1, 2024, the basic generation service (BGS) charge increased for JCP&L customers. However, there are steps you can take to help manage how much you spend on energy.
我們知道管理能源成本對您很重要。在我們努力爲您提供所需和應得的安全、可靠的電力時，我們還將提供信息和資源以幫助您控制成本。2024 年 6 月 1 日，JCP&L 客戶的基礎發電服務 (BGS) 費用有所增加。但是，你可以採取一些措施來幫助管理你的能源支出。
When you look at your home electric bill under the section titled 'Charges from JCP&L," you'll notice it's divided into two parts: a charge for delivering service to your home or business and a separate generation charge (BGS) for the actual electricity you use. For the BGS charge, you can shop for a supplier just as you shop for other products and services. If you are not served by a competitive energy supplier, JCP&L is required to purchase electricity on your behalf, and it is provided to you at cost.
當你在標題爲 “JCP&L的收費” 部分下查看家庭電費賬單時，你會注意到賬單分爲兩部分：向家庭或企業提供服務的費用和實際用電的單獨發電費（BGS）。只需支付 BGS 費用，您就可以像購買其他產品和服務一樣購買供應商。如果您沒有得到競爭對手的能源供應商的服務，JCP&L必須代表您購買電力，並且電力是按成本價提供給您的。
You may be able to save money with a competitive energy supplier. Here's how to get started:
通過有競爭力的能源供應商，您也許可以省錢。以下是入門方法：
- Locate the basic generation charge (BGS) on your latest JCP&L bill. This is the generation charge you'll use to compare against other offers.
- Head to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities' website, NJ Power Switch, for a list of licensed suppliers and their current rates. If you find a supplier that offers a generation rate lower than the current BGS, you may be able to pay less.
- When choosing a supplier, consider all offer terms carefully, including price, plan structure (fixed or variable rate), contract terms and any applicable taxes, charges and fees.
- 在您最新的 JCP&L 賬單上找到基本發電費 (BGS)。這是您用來與其他優惠進行比較的世代費。
- 前往新澤西州公用事業委員會的網站， 新澤西州電源開關，以獲取獲得許可的供應商清單及其當前費率。如果您找到提供低於當前 BGS 的發電率的供應商，則可以支付更少的費用。
- 選擇供應商時，請仔細考慮所有報價條款，包括價格、計劃結構（固定或浮動利率）、合同條款以及任何適用的稅費、費用和費用。
Whether or not you choose to shop for a competitive energy supplier, you can count on JCP&L to deliver safe, reliable power to your home.
無論您是否選擇購買有競爭力的能源供應商，您都可以信賴JCP&L爲您的家庭提供安全、可靠的電力。
Easy Ways to Save Energy
節省能源的簡便方法
With summer around the corner, there are other steps you can take in your home each day to help control your energy use and costs. Here are some ideas:
隨着夏季的臨近，您每天可以在家中採取其他措施來幫助控制能源使用和成本。以下是一些想法：
- Draw blinds, shades or drapes to block the sunlight, especially on south- and west-facing windows.
- Change air conditioner and furnace fan filters at least every three months, and more often during periods of high demand. Clogged filters waste energy and money by forcing your HVAC system to work harder than necessary.
- Avoid using heat-producing appliances during the hottest hours of the day. The less heat produced at home, the less work your air conditioner will do.
- Look around for any openings or cracks around doors and windows. Caulk, weatherstrip or seal any areas that could be letting hot air in and cool air escape.
- 畫上百葉窗、遮陽簾或窗簾來阻擋陽光，特別是在朝南和朝西的窗戶上。
- 至少每三個月更換一次空調和爐風扇過濾器，在需求旺盛的時期更頻繁地更換。過濾器堵塞會迫使您的暖通空調系統超出必要的工作量，從而浪費能量和金錢。
- 避免在一天中最熱的時段使用發熱設備。家中產生的熱量越少，空調的工作量就越少。
- 環顧四周，看門窗周圍是否有任何開口或裂縫。填縫、防風雨條或密封任何可能讓熱空氣進入和冷空氣逸出的區域。
