Our verdict

Town Square Energy suits households that want renewable electricity without a meter exchange to book first. The green plan runs at 100% renewable, and coverage stays inside US, so a settled home in a served state gets a plan it can plan around.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Renewable electricity at 100% renewable sits at the centre of the offer, and a green plan appears on the tariff list.
  • A smart meter is not required, so there is no meter exchange to book and no reading appointment to arrange before the account starts.
  • Support runs on email, chat and phone, which gives you email, chat, phone and a help centre to pick from.
  • electricity and gas covers both electricity and gas, so a household buying both does not have to compare two separate sets of tariffs.
  • A fixed term of 12-month gives you a dated point to plan a move around rather than a rate that shifts with the market.

Cons

  • The exit fee is $12.50, and its rank on that measure is 20 of 29 brands compared, so leaving early is a paid decision.
  • The unit rate of $0.90 ranks 22 of 23 suppliers compared, which places it in the middle of the table rather than at the value end.
  • The tariff list runs fixed, variable and green, so a household after time-of-use or prepay pricing has fewer choices than at electricity-ratings, which lists fixed, ev and time of use.
  • Availability stops at the states in Connecticut, Maine and Maryland, so anyone living outside that list cannot join.

Who it suits

  • Households in Connecticut, Maine and Maryland that want electricity and gas handled together.
  • Readers who want renewable electricity at 100% and no meter change to arrange.
  • Anyone happy to sit on a fixed term of 12 months and accept the $12.50 exit fee as the price of changing their mind.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Drivers wanting an electric vehicle or time-of-use plan, since electricity-ratings lists fixed, ev and time of use.
  • Readers after a dynamic tariff, which Powerpeers includes in dynamic, fixed and variable.
  • Households living outside the states in Connecticut, Maine and Maryland, who need a supplier that reaches their area.

Where it sits among rivals

Town Square Energy sits in the middle of the price table rather than at the sharp end. On unit rate it ranks 22 of 23 suppliers compared, and on exit fee it ranks 20 of 29. Read together, the two positions say the same thing: this is a mainstream choice with a charge for leaving early, not a low cost specialist and not a premium one. For a household working through a comparison table, that middle position often matters less than whether the plan is sold in your state at all.

What it does well

The headline is the green option. Town Square Energy matches 100% renewable electricity, and the basis is certificates, so the supply is matched through certificates rather than generated on a plant beside your meter. The second, quieter advantage is paperwork: a smart meter is not required, so joining does not wait on a meter exchange. Neither point tells you anything about price, but both remove friction that eats into the first weeks of a plan.

Pricing

Two figures carry the pricing. The unit rate is $0.90, and the exit fee is $12.50 if you leave a term early. Because that fee is stated rather than buried, you can weigh the cost of changing your mind against the saving from a better rate before you sign, not afterwards. What the rate does not show is how it sits against the tariff you are on now, so a like-for-like reading of your own statement is the fairest starting point.

Who runs it

The brand is run by Town Square Energy, LLC, based in the United States. It has been trading since 2012, long enough to have served customers through more than one round of wholesale price moves. Support runs on email, chat and phone, so a billing question can go by email or chat, a meter question can go by phone, and the help centre covers the routine cases. Coverage stays inside US, which means state rules shape what the support team can offer.

Frequently asked questions

Which fuels does Town Square Energy supply, and where?+

Town Square Energy supplies electricity and gas, so electricity and gas can sit on the same account. Coverage is limited to the states in Connecticut, Maine and Maryland, and the legal entity trades in the United States. Anyone living outside that list needs a different supplier, so it is worth checking your state before comparing rates.

How renewable is the green electricity?+

The green plan is matched at 100% renewable, and the basis is certificates, which means the supply is matched through certificates rather than generated next to your meter. Households chasing a particular local generation project should read the basis carefully before switching.

Do I need a smart meter to join?+

A smart meter is not required, so there is no meter exchange to book and no reading appointment to arrange before the account starts. That removes one of the delays that quietly push a switch into a later month, which matters if your current plan is ending soon or your rates are about to move.

What plans can I choose from?+

The tariff list runs fixed, variable and green, so you can pick a fixed plan for stability, a variable plan that follows the market, or the green plan when the renewable match settles the choice. A household after charging or time-of-use pricing will find a longer list at electricity-ratings, which lists fixed, ev and time of use.

How long is the term, and what does leaving early cost?+

The fixed term is 12 months, and the exit fee is $12.50 if you switch out before it ends. Weigh that fee against the saving a lower rate would deliver across your own usage before you sign, because leaving early is the one move this supplier charges for.

What does the unit rate look like?+

The published unit rate is $0.90. On the wider table it ranks 22 of 23 suppliers compared, which places it as a mid range rate rather than a standout one. Your bill depends on how much you use, so a like for like reading of your current statement gives the fairest comparison.

How do I reach support?+

Support runs on email, chat and phone, so a billing question can go by email or chat, a meter fault can go by phone, and the help centre handles the routine cases without a queue. Having more than one route is useful when an urgent problem lands outside working hours.

Who runs Town Square Energy?+

The brand is run by Town Square Energy, LLC, based in the United States and trading since 2012. That length of trading counts in a regulated market, where a supplier record says more than its advertising, and the support options on email, chat and phone give you more than one way to test a commitment.
