In 1998 the first US states deregulated their energy industries and broke the utility company monopolies. This allowed new energy suppliers to enter the market place and offer more competitive rates.

Currently 18 states are deregulated. CES was founded in 1999, and has contracted with the nation’s best and largest energy supply companies to help them sign up new customers. With all the top suppliers to choose from, we can always find a program that is right for you and will save you money.
-
When you contact CES, your energy consultant will answer all your questions and help you choose the program with the best rate for you.

If you like the program, we can sign you up right on the phone and in about 2 months you will start seeing your new lower rate and the name of your new supplier on your regular utility bill.
-
Your local utility company will still deliver your electricity and/or natural gas to you, just like always.
- Any customer service issues will be handled with a phone call to our professional, USA-based customer service representatives.
Natural Gas and Electricity Prices at Record Low Levels
Natural Gas and Electricity prices have recently hit unprecedented 10 year low levels not seen since prior to Hurricane Katrina. Current price levels are even slightly lower than the lows reached in the Fall of 2009, subsequent to the economic meltdown. This has transpired in large part due to the following reasons:
- Record high Natural Gas Supply levels as a result of the mild winter and the recent supply glut resulting from hydraulic fracturing (fracking) operations throughout the US.
- As Natural Gas prices remain at these record low levels, this has forced many of the largest U.S. natural gas producers to announce production cuts of up to 50% in attempts to drive natural gas prices back to a level where these companies can sustain profitability.
What does this mean to you as a business owner or residential consumer trying to control costs in this ongoing difficult economy?
Energy prices could once again be on the rise. Gasoline prices are already at almost record levels reached back in 2008 when crude oil hit an all-time high. Recent increased tension in the Middle East draws additional concerns as to how much higher oil and gasoline prices will continue to rise.

- We are heading into the summer demand period when energy prices are typically higher. Natural gas prices have already rallied over 20% in the past 2 weeks, after reaching a 10 year low on April 19th. Afterthe low in September 2009 NG prices traded 60-80% higher during each of the following summers, resulting in significantly higher electricity rates as well.
- The Obama administration and EPA’s recent order to restrict emissions on coal generation has resulted in a number of coal plant closing announcements, with many more closings scheduled in the months and years ahead. Coal generates over 40% of the electricity in the U.S. and this coal-to-gas switching will place upward pressure on NG prices. Coal has also been the cheapest form of electricity in the US for years and these coal plant shutdowns are raising immediate and serious concern for electricity availability.
- Historical data and technical trading fundamentals indicate that energy prices will once again rebound and return to significantly higher levels in the next 6-24 months.
Based on the data outlined above all Commercial, Industrial and Residential customers should immediately review their energy supply programs for 2012 and beyond, to assess the implications of these projected increases in prices as we move into 3rd and 4th quarters of 2012.
End users who have not yet covered their energy requirements for 2012 and beyond should seriously consider locking in supplies in the next 30 to 60 days.
Even companies that already have supply contracts in place should review existing agreements and look at hedging options and requirements to reduce exposure. Most of our clients here at Consumer Energy Solutions already have.
