### Default Service

**Default service** is the electricity supply option customers receive if they do not choose a competitive supplier. In deregulated markets, default service is typically provided through the utility (or a utility-run program), and rates may change periodically. Customers may be able to switch away from default service to a competitive supply plan where allowed.

1. The potential savings estimate was calculated through a rate comparison of a customer's new supply rate obtained through Arbor with the default utility rate. It is based on the 85th percentile of all Arbor customers who received a new supply rate plan, annualized based on savings YTD. Actual savings may vary and are not guaranteed. Arbor may receive compensation from suppliers for the services it provides to you. Arbor does not have access to every supplier rate and does not guarantee that the rates available through Arbor are the lowest available at any given time. See Terms of Service for details.
