PUCT Approves Increased Charges from CenterPoint Energy

Recently, CenterPoint Energy (the delivery company for one or more of your Texas Customers) applied for and received approval by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) for a fee increase to offset increased energy distribution costs. This increase affects all Retail Electric Providers (“REPs”) in the service region, including Ambit Energy.

This change in CenterPoint’s delivery charges will result in a $1.69/month increase per Customer, as well as a $0.00085 per kWh increase. The PUCT allows this increase on variable and fixed-rate products.

New Jersey Expansion

Ambit Energy will be starting service in the Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G) and Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) areas starting on Thursday, September 8th, 2011. Electricity service will be available in both service areas. PSE&G customers can also upgrade to Ambit's natural gas service.

DALLAS – August 22, 2011 – Ambit Energy, a national retail energy provider, announced today that the company has surpassed 600,000 active customers – only four months after passing the 500,000 customer milestone in the first quarter of 2011.

Bill Gates on the Energy Business

On CNBC, Bill Gates was asked, "What industry to you think is going to produce the next Bill Gates?" 

His response was, "...the IT industry...I'd say there are a few other industries that will compete for being exciting in the decades ahead—the energy business, some approach will provide cheaper energy that's environmentally friendly and there's a lot of science, a lot of business, it's a global thing, there will be some great careers there."


Ambit already has a few approaches for providing cheaper energy. One is using word of mouth advertising which lowers customer acquisition costs and raises customer loyalty. They also have a customer referral program that is unique in the industry. This referral program allows any customer to refer a few other customers one time and start receiving free energy month after month after month! Many customers are currently saving thousands of dollars per year through this referral program.


Environmentally friendly? Ambit Energy is Green-e certified. Green-e is the nation's leading independent consumer protection program for the sale of renewable energy and greenhouse gas reductions in the retail market.

Ambit Energy is already the #1 Fastest-Growing Private Company in America. They are also #31 on the DSN Global 100 list of direct-selling companies worldwide based on total revenue for 2010. At only five years old, they currently serve 17 markets in five states and the CEO recently announced that the number of markets served will double in the next 12 months.

Interest or Commitment?

"There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results." --Ken Blanchard


Those that will achieve the highest success in any endeavor are those that commit to it. They will not just try, they will do. If they fall, they will get back up, dust themselves off, and continue. They will not whine when things do not go as expected, but will analyze what went wrong and make corrections. They will continuously strive for improvement.


These are the kind of people that I look for to become my business partners!
