NYSE Listing Latest Milestone in Growth Trajectory of Just Energy

NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Just Energy Group Inc. (NYSE: JE; TSX: JE) senior executives were in New York today to open trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and mark an important milestone in the company's history as it officially listed and commenced trading on the NYSE on January 30, 2012.

Just Energy is a leading competitive retailer of natural gas, electricity and green energy to end customers in North America. The company has experienced a substantial growth rate across the U.S. where now more than 50 percent of the Company's sales take place. Over the past five years, the compound growth in customers, sales and margin has been over 70 percent.

The fastest growing segment of utility supply is deregulated competitive sales. Just Energy is among the largest players, and expects to become the largest 'pure player' in this particular growth sector. Where a number of other publicly traded companies in the industry have their deregulated supply divisions as smaller parts of a larger utility or generator, Just Energy is a pure competitive supplier in the deregulated utility space.

"We look forward to the opportunity to broaden our investor base and bring the Just Energy story to U.S. investors," said Ken Hartwick, CEO and President of Just Energy. "Access to deep U.S. capital markets will help support further expansion. Our continued growth will enable us to meet the changing needs and wants of energy consumers across North America, as well as contribute to job creation, regional investment, and energy sustainability and conservation programs."

"Our path to the New York Stock Exchange began in a single market as a zero base start-up in 1997," said Rebecca MacDonald, Co-founder and Executive Chair of Just Energy. "Today, with 1.8 million customers and $3 billion in revenues, we are very proud of the distance Just Energy has travelled, and we are excited about the opportunities that our listing will help generate in terms of the value to investors as well as customers."
