About Energy Choice in Hamilton
Hamilton Township — the sprawling Mercer County municipality that wraps around Trenton to the east and south — is served by PSE&G for electric distribution and, across most neighborhoods including Hamilton Square, Yardville and Mercerville, by PSE&G for natural gas as well. That single-utility footprint keeps shopping straightforward: one bill, one delivery company, one set of default supply rates to beat.
PSE&G's default electric supply rate — Basic Generation Service — is set every year through a New Jersey Board of Public Utilities auction. The auction result becomes the Price to Compare for the June-through-May period that follows, and it's the number Third Party Suppliers must beat to save a Hamilton household money on the generation portion of the bill.
Hamilton's housing runs from mid-century split-levels and ranches through Mercerville and Hamilton Square to newer construction along the I-295 corridor, plus older row homes near the Trenton line. Larger detached homes typically see the biggest absolute dollar savings from a fixed-rate contract because they benchmark higher on the monthly kWh curve — the same per-kWh discount produces a bigger check when usage is bigger.
Gas supply is a parallel decision. PSE&G's Basic Gas Supply Service acts as the default gas rate; competitive suppliers file offers on NJ Power Switch measured against it. Because both defaults are PSE&G-set, Hamilton is one of the cleaner New Jersey markets to shop both fuels on one household in one sitting.
