We love our low guaranteed rate for 3 years and getting our TAX FREE CASH BACK REBATES!! All we’re doing is referring people to you …too bad the restaurants I’ve referred don’t offer something back EVERY month like Think Energy does!

SOLAR PANEL users stay away
SOLAR PANEL users stay away! Since the company has been taken over by another company I have been noticing my bills getting higher, figured it was just a part of the inflation boom we are experiencing. But this past month I noticed I only had a net metering credit of 35$! Pretty low after going through a drought with no cloudy days. So I called to ask how is the credit figured out since the bill doesn't show much. Just net metering credit - 35$. First agent wasn't much help, just told me I had to do the math and divide it by my contract price, which gave me 287 kwh that they credited me for. She also told me to contact my solar company because that who sends the kwh to them.Did that, was told my system produced 1358.7 kwh. Called think energy back and gave them that information, this agent, after being put on hold for 15 minutes, came back with this answer, it's because I only receive partial credits because they don't receive that information in time. OK. According to the solar company last month I produced 1200 kwh, so where is my 900+- kwh that i did not receive credit for. Another 15 minute wait and I received another different answer, I get charged for what my panels do not produce for the day. OK. So this day my panels produced 44.62 kwh, information from my panels site, and according to the think energy site I used 49.9 that same day, so I only owe you for 5.28 kwh for that day. And so on. I broke it down day by day by there billing cycle and came out at 640.72 kwh that I used that my panels did not produce. My bill is for 1978 kwh. So which story is it, neither one adds up. Agent just told me she was going to escalate a ticket. Here I am a month later and my new answer is my credit applied is correct. I have been asking for an accurate explanation, how many kwh am I actually getting credit for, but they just constantly come back with it is correct. Again, I've been with this company since 2019, never had problems until November of 2022 when they changed owners. All I was looking for is accurate information on the break down of the net metering credit, and after these answers I have received leads me to think what kind of shadiness is going on over there. I could be wrong, just coming to my own conclusions after the responses I was given, but they are failing to prove me wrong other wise, need more than just the bill is correct.

We are sorry for your frustration, Armando. We can only go by the information given to us by SMT, which our agent did explain when you spoke. All the best!

Stay away
Stay away ! My bill are doubled for the same use, ,i only have AC and laptop , and ac setting are around 79 ,barely turn on,
this is what they told me, Hello,
Your account is being billed with a 9.6 cents per kWh energy rate. The reason your average rate is over 28 cents per kWh is because of the TDSP charges for the demand ratchet. The ratchet is imposed by the TDSP and will be billed regardless of what provider or plan you have. The ratchet is:
A demand ratchet is a billing method commonly imposed by electric utilities on commercial customers. It specifies that the billed demand level in kW be the larger of the actual peak demand for the billing period, or a percentage of the highest peak reached during the previous X months. A typical demand ratchet uses 80% of the peak demand occurring during the previous 11 months as the comparison point. Under this scenario, if your facility experiences a peak demand of 1,000 kW for one hour (or 15 minute interval) you will be billed for a minimum of 800 kW during the next 11 months, even if your actual demand is much lower. Demand ratchets are generally used by utilities to reduce the risks of serving certain types of customers who have potentially large swings in demand during the year—making them pay for the assurance of having the high capacity available when needed.
Sincerely,
Think Energy Customer Care
this is what i found out , there is NO way i use 1000kw per hour or over 15 mins, and they will AUTO renew the contract without ask you ,
--------------------------------
2.5 Ton 1.88 kWh
3 Ton 2.25 kWh
3.5 Ton 2.63 kWh

Hello Mark. Please contact your TDSP, Centerpoint, as the rachet is imposed by them. You are welcome to terminate your contract with Think and we will not charge you an ETF (we have made a note in your file), however be aware that as the rachet is imposed by the Utility, not Think, it will follow you to which ever supplier you choose.

Extremely frustrated when trying to re-enroll!
I have been trying to enroll in the Think Energy program in Maine for a month. Over that time span I've either gotten a "Something went wrong" or the Renew page shows for an instant and then goes away on both Firefox and Chrome portals.
I've also called Customer Service and they just keep saying to try again to enroll a couple hours later. I also wanted to know about the availability of Solar Farms in Maine. The Customer Service rep said I would get an email with this info. I have not gotten one and it's been over a week. Also, I tried to email at the contact info provided and never got a response. I am not sure what else to do. I am trying to enroll in the program that gives 10% credit for solar usage. I have a 8/17 renew date and they just don't seem concerned about whether I renew or not.
8/3/23 update. I was finally able to renew today. The customer care representative went thru a somewhat involved process with me. I would have never figured it out myself and I am thankful to get a rep. that new exactly what to do.

Customer service is excellent and very…
Customer service is excellent and very knowledgeable as well as actually caring about their customers. Also helps you navigate things in signing up. And even after a few months I had a question and Dan replied instantly. I am very impressed with service and the low price. Highly recommend

Peace of mind
The long term stability of their competitive fixed rate takes so much pressure off thinking about what could happen in the winter with rates.
