    Choose from the service-start dates Ambit offers for your exact address and review your enrollment confirmation. Your activation date depends on address eligibility, meter status and utility processing.

    Every plan has an Electricity Facts Label (EFL) showing its average price at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh, its fees, its cancellation fee and any discounts. Read the plan's EFL before you enroll.
