HOUSTON, March 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tara Energy, a leading Retail Electric Provider to hundreds of thousands of Texas customers, marks 10 years in business with the launch of several promotions and contests in recognition of their latest milestone.

The company's customer-focused celebrations will include 10 prize draws on the tenth day of each month (until December) for fun prizes such as Apple iPads, Amazon Kindles and more. The monthly draws will culminate with a grand prize giveaway of $10,000 to be awarded to one lucky winner in January 2013.

As a strong supporter of local initiatives such as the Houston Astros' Opening Day Festival, MS (Multiple Sclerosis) 150 and various other non-profit organizations, "We want to extend our celebration to the community and thank our customers for their loyalty over the past 10 years. We look forward to our continued service and honoring our deep community roots for many decades to come," said Neville Ravji, CEO and co-founder of Tara Energy.

"I believe their commitment to personal service is one of the reasons why Tara Energy has been so successful," says Toni Ambrosy, a loyal Tara Energy customer and the first person to sign on with the company 10 years ago. "For us, the company has remained true to its philosophy of putting the customer first. Over the years, we have benefited from competitive rates and excellent customer service. We are very glad to be a member of the Tara family and to help them celebrate their 10th Anniversary."

Established in 2002 - the first year of state deregulation - Tara has grown rapidly in the Texas electricity market surpassing a number of retail power providers that have since come and gone. Growth and success are the results of competitively priced products and customer service delivered with honesty, integrity and respect. With emphasis on providing outstanding value and best-in-class service to residential and commercial customers, Tara has become the preferred electricity provider to a number of leading trade and consumer organizations and associations.

Having made its mark in Texas as a stable and successful Retail Electricity Provider, the company looks forward to expanding into new U.S. and Canadian deregulated markets in the coming year.
