Reply to comment by voyboy_crying in The "save money on your energy bill" scam artists are back; now they're pretending to be from the city instead of PSEG by mikevago

They try and get you to sign up with an energy company that purports to be much cheaper than PSEG. And they are... for the first month or two, and then the rates jump up, but you're locked into a contract and are stuck paying more.

The real scam is Arcadia purports to be a generator of clean energy. In reality, they are purchasing Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) on your behalf - basically paying actual clean energy generators to generate the electricity they would have produced anyway.
