Several individuals who hold, or who previously held, direct or indirect ownership interests in American Power & Gas and Consumer Sales Solutions are among the management of a new Texas retail electric provider, Virtual Energy Supply, LLC

Virtual Energy Supply, LLC has applied for an Option 1 Texas retail electric provider certificate
