In May 2017, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Constellation Energy Power Choice for allegedly using a bait-and-switch marketing scheme to make consumers believe they will save money if they switch their electricity supplier. According to the plaintiffs, the company deceptively offers a low initial rate for a specific number of months without informing consumers that the company switches them to a variable rate after the initial rate expires, and the variable rate is “substantially higher than the initial teaser rate” and does not reflect changes in the market rates for electricity.
