CenterPoint Energy Services Seeks New Retail Supplier License, Intends to Serve Residential Customers

CenterPoint Energy Services, Inc. applied for an Illinois alternative natural gas supplier license. CenterPoint Energy Services said in its application that it is seeking authority to serve customers at Nicor, Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas, but an attachment of notices of intent sent to utilities also included a letter sent to Ameren indicating that the company may at some point in time provide service to customers at Ameren (as Ameren's program is characterized as transportation, limited to non-residential customers, rather than choice, this could explain its omission from the list of service areas included in the main body of the application). CenterPoint Energy Services said that it, "will provide alternative gas supply services to small commercial customer [sic] located in the aforementioned service territories. Applicant intends to provide services to residential customers."
