The Electric Choice and Competition Act permits non-residential customers with a peak demand over one megawatt to buy electricity from sources other than their local utility, including directly from the competitive wholesale electricity market. Customers must provide notice to their utility before switching suppliers. The Public Service Commission of West Virginia will set a cap on the amount of power non-residential customers can buy from third parties, with provisions to adjust the cap based on market conditions.
