Simple Power customers are now part of Cirro Energy, a Dominion Resources company. Your service is about to get even better with the backing of a Fortune 200 company that has been serving electric customers for over 100 years.<\/p>\n<p>Rest assured, there will be no changes to your current contract and there is nothing you need to do at this time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Cirro Energy has been operating in the <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com'>Texas electricity<\/a> market pretty much since it first deregulated in 2001. Cirro is based out of Richardson, Texas and they have a strong brand awareness in the Dallas area. Additionally their parent company, Dominion Resources, is a huge energy generation and transportation company that operates in the middle part of America.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not certain exactly how many customers Cirro Energy is adding from their purchase of Simple Power, but it is a fairly substantial number. More and more it seems like the bigger <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com'>Texas electricty<\/a> providers are purchasing and absorbing some of their competition in the retail electricity markets. A couple months back, Spark Energy purchased the customer book of Abacus energy after they ran into financial trouble due to the harsh winter storm that engulfed the state and its&#8217; effect on electricity prices.<\/p>\n<p>Customers who had a contract with Simple Power should keep in mind that in Texas, they have <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com'>electric choice<\/a>. That means that just because Cirro Energy has purchased the customers and contracts, customers will still likely have the chance to select a different <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/companies'>electricity provider<\/a> if they don&#8217;t want to go forward with Cirro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I figured that something was up when Simple Power removed all of their plans from Power To Choose sometime last week or over the weekend.
