Former Principal of Access Energy, Unified Energy Launching New Broker

Start-up CSD Energy Advisors, LLC applied for an Ohio electric broker license to serve commercial, mercantile, and industrial customers in all service areas.

CSD Energy Advisors, LLC is a newly formed entity with a sole member, Robert W. James.

James has been involved in the energy industry for over 15 years, and specifically in the power brokerage business since 2003. In 2003, James formed Access Energy, LLC which provided energy consulting and brokerage of power to commercial customers, primarily in the state of Texas. James sold his interest in Access Energy, LLC to a business partner in 2006.

In 2008, James and other investors participated in a management buyout of Unified Energy Services, LLC from its initial investors. James served on the board of Unified for the next several years, and James and the other outside investors sold their equity interests in Unified in 2010.

CSD Energy Advisors said that it was in the process of obtaining broker licenses in additional states where such registration is required.
