Congrats on discovering that you have to get your electricity from a government granted and protected monopoly. That's not competition, and that's not the market.
There are in fact tons of towns all across the nation where no utility monopolies were granted, and multiple power companies still compete with each other (and not Company A has the west side and Company B the east; both companies compete for the whole town). Unsurprisingly service is much better and costs are much lower in those towns (despite the pro-government-monopoly crowd telling you that it's impossible).

i am not allowed to choose whoever i want though. i was told by company b that i must take company a's delivery service, but may choose to take company b's supply service over company a's.
i was given a list online to look over different company's rates for supplier's charges, i think it is somewhere around 15 different companies.
thx for that info though i'll have to look it over.
