NRG Buys VEH Brands and Customers
NRG energy, the biggest electricity seller in Texas and parent company of Houston-based Reliant Energy, is reported to have agreed to purchase the customers and brand assets of the three retailers owned by Houston-based Volterra Energy Holdings LLC (VEH).Will NRG's Deal Affect My Electricity?
According to EnergyChoiceMatters.Com, NRG will be acquiring Discount Power, Power Express, and Volterra for an undisclosed amount. Customers will come under NRG control in November 2018. Power Express customers began transitioning to Cirro Energy in August. Volterra customers will begin transitioning to join Cirro Energy in November. Discount Power customers will be transitioned to Pennywise Power, however, Pennywise Power will change its name to Discount Power in early 2019. NRG promises to honor all VEH contract pricing plans and that the change-over should be seamless for customers. Still, VEH customers using autopay to pay their monthly Texas electric bill will need to notify their banks and set up a new autopay once they receive a new account number from either Cirro or Pennywise/Discount Power. Customers with questions about their accounts should contact their VEH provider company to learn more:- Discount Power
