Supplier Check: Constellation in New Jersey
We do not score New Jersey suppliers. The BPU's complaint counts do not fit our Pennsylvania formula, so a score would not be fair. We run five checks instead and show the source and the day we read it. How we check explains each rule.

- Not publishedContract terms
The only contract summary we found is undated, covers one utility area and prints a licence number the BPU lists under another company, so we did not use it. Rate, term and cancel fee show on Constellation's site after you enter a service address.

- PassState record, last 5 years

It passes the licence, BBB and state record checks. Contract terms and price are not published without a service address, since New Jersey has no offer chart.
New Jersey gets a checklist, not a score, because the BPU's counts do not match the inputs of our Pennsylvania formula. See how we check Ohio and New Jersey suppliers.
Does a Constellation quote beat my utility's price?
Get Constellation's price for your address. Enter it with the monthly fee, if any, and your use. Pick your utility. You get the gain or the extra cost for winter, for summer and across 12 months.

It is on your bill.
- 2Type the price.
Use cents per kWh, with tax.
- 3Add the monthly fee.
Leave 0 if the quote has none.
- 4Add your monthly use.
It is the kWh line on your bill.
"Costs more" means the offer takes money from you, and "saves" means you keep it. The result covers the supply price only. It is not a bill, and it skips delivery, credits and the contract's fine print.

What did the BPU count about Constellation?
The BPU posts a report each quarter with the complaints it received about each third-party supplier. Here are Constellation's counts for the latest four reports, read Nov. 1, 2026. They are raw counts for all of New Jersey. The BPU does not give each company's customer count, so a bigger company will usually have more.
| Quarter | All complaints | Residential | Main type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q3 2025 | 1 | 0 | Marketing (commercial) |
| Q4 2025 | 2 | 2 | Marketing |
| Q1 2026 | 12 | 10 | Billing 7, marketing 3 |
| Q2 2026 | 3 | 3 | Marketing 2, billing 1 |
| Total, four quarters | 18 | 15 |
A complaint is a customer's report to the BPU, not a finding against the company. Q1 2026 was the high point. The BPU report does not say why.
What do customers say about Constellation?
BBB is a private group, and it does not judge each complaint. On Nov. 1, 2026 it listed 35 complaints about Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. over 3 years, 6 of them in the last 12 months. By type: 18 billing, 9 customer service, 4 service or repair, 2 order and 2 sales or advertising. BBB marked 8 as resolved and 27 as answered. The profile covers all the states Constellation sells in, not only New Jersey.
What is the price to beat?
Constellation's offer is only good if it beats the default. Each utility posts a price to compare. These are the supply prices in cents per kWh.
| Utility | Price to compare | In effect since |
|---|---|---|
| PSE&G | 19.79¢ | October 1, 2026 |
| JCP&L | 17.05¢ | October 1, 2026 |
| Atlantic City Electric | 18.16¢ | October 1, 2026 |
Rockland Electric has its own price. See the Rockland Electric guide. Our PSE&G and JCP&L guides show how those prices move.
What should I ask Constellation before I sign?
- Is the price fixed for the whole term, and for how many months?
- What is the early cancel fee, and is there a free window?
- What happens when the term ends: a new fixed price, or a variable one?
- Is the licence number on the contract ESL-0273?
- Do not read your account number to a caller you did not phone.
- Do not sign at the door. You can always call back.
The BPU's customer line is 1-800-624-0241. Our supplier guide shows how to check a name.
