California Electricity Announcement
Tiger is excited to announce we are offering Electricity service in California! As you may know, the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) is partially opening up the state’s electric service to competition. The program is known as Direct Access (“DA”) and will allow Non-Residential customers to have a choice of purchasing Electricity from an independent Electric Service Provider (Tiger) rather than from their Local Utility Company. The CPUC has set limits as to how many customers will be allowed to switch each year. Note: If you have any interest in switching to DA service, you have a very limited time period to notify your Utility Company of your interest.
Sign-up Process:
January 13, 2012. Six-Month Notices will only be rejected if the annual limit has been met. It is highly likely that there will be a large initial rush of Six-Month Notices submitted in January. The fourth year‘s cap could be exceeded within the first hour of the first day. If you would like the opportunity to choose your provider, please fill out the Six Month Notice and Authorization forms and send to Tiger as soon as possible.
What to Send to Tiger:
To secure you place in line, please send both a Six-Month Notice to Transfer to Direct Access Service and a completed Authorization to Release Data form to Tiger as soon as possible, with the specific electric Service ID Numbers listed for the corresponding accounts you intend to switch service (the Service ID Number is the same as the Service Agreement Number and should be used on the Six-Month Notice; the Authorization Form Requires the Service Account Number). Tiger will be collecting these forms on behalf of our customers and submitting them to the relevant local utilities in January 2012.
Required Forms for Each Utility
Please submit forms to electricity@tigernaturalgas.com or via Fax at 1-888-294-7660.

What Happens Next:
- If capacity space is available, you will be notified within 30 days of the CPUC’s receipt of your Notice, and you will have 60 days from the date of notification to commit to TIGER’s service for the specific customer account(s).
- If you fail to commit during the 60 day period, the capacity space reserved for you will be allocated to the next customer in line.
- If we are unable to enter into an agreement, the Utility will subject your account(s) to Transitional Bundled Commodity pricing for a period of six (6) months, then begin a new three (3) year commitment period on Bundled Portfolio Service (your current rate schedule with the utility). You will not be able to go back to DA service until the 3 year commitment period has expired.
- In the event your Notice is not accepted, you will remain on your current rate schedule. Tiger is dedicated to maximizing your chance to be allotted space and providing you a substantial savings on your electricity, just as we do for your natural gas.
