Sunwave is unilaterally cancelling electrical power contracts in the ISO-NE region. My contract was supposed to go through November 2023, but now (Feb 3, 2022) turned over to non-solar, non-renewable... See more

They just walked away from our contracts. This is awful. We have to find new providers with a possible war with Russia. Run away these people fast and do not look back. Maybe someone from Sunw... See more

Beware....!

Initial rates were OK, but be very careful if you're considering these guys. There was no notice at the end of my 4 month term at which time Sunwave automatically put me into a much higher rate plan and locked me in for 8 months. When I tried to move my service to a more reasonable provider they threatened to charge me a $50 early cancellation fee, even though I completed my originally agreed upon term and never agreed to the new term. When I called them to discuss they were unsympathetic, rude and stuck to the $50 charge. Looks like I just learned a $50 lesson. That lesson, "Don't use Sunwave Gas & Power...!"

Dear Micheal S.,

We have reviewed your account. You received 3 notices regarding your renewal, the first was a renewal notice sent via U.S. Postal Service this notice was followed by two additional email notifications informing you about impending/actual price changes to your account (chronology below). You had time to consider our renewal offer and to select from any other available terms and prices offered by Sunwave (with the exception of another 4 month introductory offer). Your renewal offer was below the utility default rate for a term that we thought offered the best combination of price and term given wholesale future energy prices at the time. Sunwave devotes considerable time and effort to presenting well considered renewal offers with the flexibility to choose from additional alternate offers. Regarding the exit fee, our records indicate that our customer service representative had challenges communicating to you that our cancellation fee would be waived as they were interrupted and you made your request for escalation to a manager.

We thank you for your feedback and will continue to work diligently to refine and improve our customer experience.


Chronology:

09/29/2016 - signed up for 4 month introductory rate

10/05/2016 - first date of flow (contract end date 02/26/2017)

01/04/2017 - renewal letter mailed via U.S. Postal service

01/18/2017 - email notification sent notifying you of impending rate change

03/08/2017 - email notification sent informing you that your price had changed effective 02/27/217

Sunwave Saves $$

Sunwave gas & power provided my business a savings on the generated cost of electricity, which as any business owner knows we are always looking for ways to save money while maintaining the best facility for our business.

I'm sticking with Sunwave!

This is my 3rd generation contract with Sunwave. They are no longer the lowest cost generation provider in my service territory, but they are still reasonable. I now have been able to renew with them twice, albeit at a slightly higher cost. I have had contracts with several other generation companies over the years and Sunwave is the first one that I have had multiple contracts with. All of the other companies only wanted new customers. They weren't interested in keeping customers. Sunwave is a refreshing departure from those practices. They are quite trustworthy.

Rates are good But company doesn't have …

Rates are good and I would give 5 stars , But on the company side doesn't have a way to see your account with them or when your contract is due to expire. In the past with this company it was that I would get a reminder email prior to expiration of term and current rates to renew with. My last contract went on a year when I knew I was expecting at least a renewal after 6 to 9months. With that timeframe I wasn't even sure when I last renewed and what I picked, cause it was so long and I started second guessing myself as my bill from ppl kept saying I still had time. When I got one call recently which I thought was odd when I have email as my best contact. They told me via voicemail my account would go back to ppl in a month with no follow up email with link to current customer rates.

We were seeking a replacement for our electrical provider

We were seeking a replacement for our current electrical provider. An internet search indicated that Sunwave was a possibility. I contacted them and was very impressed with the customer service representative. The price is right and, so far so is the experience.
