Santanna Energy Services Reaches Customer, Send-out Milestones

Santanna Energy Services announced today that it anticipates reaching a 2012 annual delivery volume of 148 million therms, which would represent a 100 percent increase in its annual natural gas delivery volume since 2007, the first year of a continuing aggressive growth plan.

Santanna Energy Services said that it currently serves 100,000 customers in the Midwest.

"We look forward to providing more customers in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and beyond, with new energy options," said Santanna's Chief Marketing Officer, Doug Cueller.

Santanna's annual volume send-out in 2007 was 75 million therms, which increased to 83 million therms in 2008, 88 million therms in 2009, and 119 million therms in 2010, followed by 134 million therms in 2011.

In December 2010, Santanna reached its monthly send-out high of just under 15 million therms, which was exceeded in January 2011 with a 16.5 million therm send-out. This compares from Santanna's first-year monthly high of nine million therms.
