Energy Plus Expands Service to Massachusetts

PHILADELPHIA, July 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Plus Holdings, one of the nation's fastest-growing energy companies, today announced that it has expanded its service to the residents of Massachusetts. NSTAR, National Grid and WMECo customers now have a new choice when it comes to buying electricity – a choice that delivers unique rewards such as airline, hotel, and retail loyalty program miles and points as well as cash back.

"Our ability to provide residential customers cash back or vacations just for paying their energy bill has proven to be successful in the states we currently serve," said Steve Barnes, President of Energy Plus. "We're thrilled to bring our unique rewards program and stellar customer service to the residents of Massachusetts."

Massachusetts marks the ninth state that is able to benefit from the unique rewards that Energy Plus offers. Consumers throughout Massachusetts will now be able to benefit from the money they already spend on electricity, just for paying their monthly bill. Last year, Energy Plus distributed more than 800 million airline, hotel, and retail loyalty program miles and points and more than $5 million dollars in cash back to its customers.

Switching providers is simple, convenient and immediately rewarding.

While deregulation has been available in Massachusetts for some time, there is still much confusion on the benefits of switching providers. Watch this video to learn about competition in Massachusetts and how customers can benefit from making a switch.
