The Deregulation of Electricity in Rhode Island
For those of you who are interested in saving money on your electricity, now that you can choose your own supplier, we would like to provide a strictly informational session to explain how this works and to answer any questions you may have. If you are interested, please email me at jworrick@flynnsplaza.com and we will put something together based on the responses. If you would rather meet one on one, we can arrange that also.

Best regards,
Jeanne Worrick
