Only for the time of use (interval) plans. The single rate and standard time of use plans work with the meter you have. Your eligibility check tells you which apply.
Signing up takes a few minutes, and we send your sign-up to the retailer immediately. Your new plan applies from your transfer date. That's usually within a few days if your site has a smart meter, or at your next scheduled meter read if it has an older meter, which can take up to three months, or sooner if you agree to an estimated read. Your supply doesn't stop, and you stay on your current rate until the transfer date.
