Electric rates declined two times in a row today due to an energy commodities slump that followed a historical drop in the S&P 500 index, the DOW, and NASDAQ indexes. The plunge was so dramatic that oil fell $10 and natural gas retreated to $7.20 mmBTU. In Texas electric rates fol

I was a Commerce Energy customer for years and without any notification, my rates jumped to .225 per kilowatt!! I called Commerce Energy several times and after being on hold for hours, I finally was able to speak to a rude representative that eventually hung up on me in less than 5 minutes. Looking at my Commerce Energy bill, I did find the URL to the Public Utility Commission of Texas; http://www.puc.state.tx.us/ocp/complaints/compl.... I filed a complaint and received a reply back within a couple of days. I also received a letter in the mail from the Public Utility Commission of Texas starting that Commerce Energy had 21 days to reply to my complaint. I haven’t heard anything back yet, but it hasn’t been 21 days.
Why did I file a complaint with the Public Utility Commission of Texas? Commerce Energy illegally switched my electrical rates without any notification. Commerce Energy has my home number, work number and my email address, but they didn’t even try contacting me. Nothing was even stating on my electrical bill. My electrical consumption is anywhere from 3,500 kilowatts to just a little over 4,000 kilowatts per month. (I'm wondering if I have a bad electrical meter) An electrical bill over $800 per month is just crazy!! I contacted 15 electrical companies and finally found Ambit Energy. Ambit Energy's rate in my area is .13 per kilowatt and it didn’t cost me anything to switch over. BTW, the other 14 electrical companies wanted a $450 to $500 deposit; Ambit Energy DID NOT request a deposit! :) The best part about switching to Ambit Energy is the referral program they have that can reduce my electrical bill to zero dollars every month!! Ambit Energy rates are as low as 11.8; depending on zip code. Take a look at http://eZap.JoinAmbit.com.
