New Texas Retail Provider Launches, Emphasizes Transparency In Its Marketing
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Update, 2/7
BKV Energy has updated its website to state, "We’re committed to providing honest electricity at competitive rates. We aim for stable, fair margins and sharing the surplus with our customers. How’s that for a good deal?"
"Our goal is to develop a value proposition in which our customers can enjoy the benefits of potential margin surplus, and we are using these consumer insights to refine the process of how we can meet this goal," said BKV Energy Vice President, Retail Power Javier Hinojosa. "At BKV Energy, we believe it is our responsibility to help customers understand how our business works, how we make money and even how we end up losing money from time to time. We have some exciting things planned for the future."
BKV Energy's website no longer includes language stating, "We’ll show you the cost and even the exact margin we charge you to keep the lights on."
