YEP Energy Announces More Fixed Rate Plans for Texas

    HOUSTON, TX, February 12, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- YEP Energy today announced two new service plans that go into effect immediately to provide more value and choice for customers who want to take advantage of fixed rate pricing for longer terms or terms that more accurately match their household circumstances.

"With more than twice the number of service plans as our nearest incumbent competitor, we have proven our commitment to offering low price electricity, valuable service, and more choices for Texans who seek to lower their electricity bills for the coming summer months," said Jeff James, Vice President of Marketing for YEP Energy. "Our service plans represent customers' continuing need for fixed rate pricing plans that fit their household circumstances - from homeowners who have lived at the same address for years to new tenants signing their first lease. Plus these plans make switching to YEP Energy even more attractive when you consider the popularity of our three, six, nine, and twelve month fixed rate plans and how those plans allow customers to match their the service term with their home and living situation. Texans have a choice for their electricity - we want them to have even more options!"

The idea that there could be a better way to fix the rates for people who rent their homes or apartments, or who otherwise want term-flexibility, caught the attention of YEP Energy's Senior Management who thought it might be a good idea to offer the newest service offering, the 14 and 16 month fixed rate plans. By allowing customers to choose from a greater variety of length of service, YEP Energy's new service plans help customers mitigate their risk to the volatility of higher electricity prices over the long run - especially with the summer months approaching when traditionally high electricity bills can be expected.

"We heard from a lot of our customers and their message was clear - people's lives just don't always match-up to a 12 month cycle," said Mr. James. "Texans who choose YEP Energy now have even greater variety of fixed rate pricing plans that will help them best manage their electricity costs for the months ahead." The new fixed rate plans are now available online and new customers can enroll for service by visiting yeptexas.com or by calling 24-hours a day.

YEP Energy has published their new plans to the PowerToChoose.org website with the corresponding Terms or Service and Electricity Facts Labels for Texas consumers to review. YEP's new pricing plans, including the renewable energy plans, are available to new enrollments who are switching from their current provider and current customers who are eligible to extend or modify their current plan with YEP subject to the terms of their existing service plan.
