MXenergy extends fixed-price certainty to local residents and opportunity to support local schools

HOUSTON, Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In Fayette County, Kentucky, local schools have discovered a new financial weapon for battling budget woes: reducing energy bills. Energy provider MXenergy is now pleased to offer natural gas price protection to homeowners as well.  For a limited time, Fayette County residents will be able to receive a special introductory, low fixed rate on natural gas when they enroll with MXenergy.  For each successful enrollment, MXenergy also will make a $25 contribution to the Fayette County Board of Education.

The Fayette County Public Schools district has stated that it lowered its 2011 energy bills through specialized energy rate programs, including the natural gas supply it acquires from MXenergy. Thanks to the natural gas supply it purchased from MXenergy, the school district calculated that it lowered its energy bills by about $300,000 in fiscal 2011 alone.

"The special energy pricing we have been able to offer Fayette County Schools has reduced the district's energy costs," says Marjorie Kass, managing director of MXenergy, one of the fastest growing retail natural gas and electricity suppliers in the United States. "We want to expand our relationship with the people of Fayette County by offering a special fixed rate on natural gas to Fayette County residents so they can manage their energy costs while also supporting their community."

The success of the Fayette County Public Schools energy management initiatives has prompted MXenergy to consider expanding its offers to school districts in other parts of the state.

"Schools across the country are currently facing very difficult economic choices," continues Kass.  "We believe the benefits of the special energy rate offer we provide for Fayette County Public Schools will be of interest to schools and local governments throughout Kentucky."
