About MXenergy

MXenergy is an energy reseller that supplies gas and electricity in the US and Canada.  In the United States, it supplies gas and/or electricity in Texas, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Kentucky, Florida, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, and California.   Canadian operations are in British Columbia and Ontario.  

To understand the significance of this, it is necessary to understand the history and nature of deregulation. At one time, companies that laid the pipelines and built the electrical power grid were allowed a monopoly on the sale of natural gas and electricity.  This was allowed to protect the investment these companies made in building the infrastructure that supplied natural gas and power to homes and businesses.   

However, this changed in the 1980s.  The Federal Energy Agency handed down a mandate stating that pipelines provide open access to customers.  This change later evolved into what is now called in 22 states a competitive reseller market.  Small, third party companies are allowed to buy gas, and now electricity, from the companies who built the infrastructure.  In term, they sell gas and power to homeowners and businesses at competitive rates.  States, not the Federal Government, regulate this process. 

MXenergy is one of the very first of what is now a total of 200 companies to offer this type of competitively priced energy to residential and commercial clients in the deregulated marketplace.  It has played a uniquely environmentally aware role in the market since its inception in 1999.  It has also demonstrated strong a strong sense of community awareness.   

The organization belongs to the Chicago Climate Exchange through an alliance with the certified offset aggregator, Valley Wood, Inc.  It is also an Energy Star Partner.  Connecticut customers have the option of buying 100% renewable energy.  The organization places a very strong focus on sustainability issues and the environment.  Carbon offset credits are offered to clients who seek to neutralize their carbon footprint.  In Columbus Georgia, the money from these credits goes toward reforestation programs.   

MXenergy sponsored two community service initiatives in year 2010.  The first of these was in Allentown, PA, where the organization partnered with radio stations WAEB 790AM, WODE 9939 FM The HAWK, and WMHX 106.7 FM.  This drive gathered food and warm clothing for the Jewish Family Service Food Bank, the Kosher Food Pantry, and the Volunteers of American in Mechanicsburg, The Rescue Mission, and the Salvation Army in Allentown.   

In Norwalk, CT, MXenergy partnered with 95.9 FM The Fox.  This community drive was originally intended to only collect food and warm clothing for the Norwalk Emergency Center.  However, so many donations were made by residents that a large donation was also made to Bridgeport, CT’s Community Closet.   

In 2009, MXenergy financially back James Boncek’s conversion of a 1993 Toyota Tercel from gasoline to battery power.  After 100 hours of research and 100 hours of labor, the conversion was successful.  Mr. Boncek’s car runs off of 12 batteries and gets 50 miles per charge.  It can be recharged at any wall socket.
