Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating CleanChoice Energy for potential violations of state consumer protection laws arising from alleged overcharges for residential electricity supply.
Consumers report enrolling for clean energy at competitive rates—only to later experience significant and unexpected increases in their electricity bills.
Wittels McInturff Palikovic has already filed class actions for electricity overcharges against CleanChoice Energy on behalf of consumers in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Illinois.
What Is the Investigation About?
CleanChoice Energy markets itself as a provider that can help consumers save money on their energy bills. However, many consumers report the opposite.
Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating whether consumers were:
Promised lower energy costs
Placed into plans with unexpectedly high rates
Charged more than their local utility would have charged
Misled about how their energy pricing would work over time
Consumers Report Higher-Than-Expected Energy Costs
Consumer reviews indicate that some customers experienced substantial price increases after enrollment or after initial promotional periods ended.
One reviewer described “bait and switch pricing” and paying triple their utility’s rate
Another reported their bill “skyrocketed… to $780” after a rate change they say was not clearly communicated
Other consumers report paying “well over the normal billing rate” despite expectations of savings
Consumers have also reported sharp increases in their monthly bills without corresponding increases in usage.
One customer reported bills rising from approximately $300 to $700–$900 in a short period
Others describe initial low rates that later increase substantially after contract changes or renewals
Online consumer discussions echo similar concerns about rates exceeding those of local utilities.
One consumer reported their rate increased from $0.037/kWh to $0.202/kWh—over 5x higher than their prior utility rate
Additionally, the Better Business Bureau reports over 100 complaints in recent years, including issues related to billing and pricing concerns
Potentially Unlawful Practices
We are investigating whether CleanChoice Energy’s conduct may violate state consumer protection laws, including laws prohibiting:
Deceptive marketing and misrepresentation
Failure to disclose material pricing terms
Unfair or excessive energy charges
Energy suppliers are required to provide clear and accurate information so consumers can make informed decisions. When they fail to do so, consumers may pay far more than expected.
Why This Matters
Electricity and gas are essential household services. Consumers rely on accurate pricing and honest marketing when choosing an energy provider.
When companies use misleading tactics or unclear pricing, consumers pay hundreds or even thousands more for energy each year than if they remained with their utility.
We Want to Hear From You
You may have a claim if:
You switched to CleanChoice Energy expecting savings but paid more than your utility
Your rates increased significantly after enrollment
You were told one price but charged another
