Spark Energy Affiliate To Acquire Customer Book Spanning 20 Markets

National Gas & Electric, LLC, an affiliate of Spark Energy, Inc., has entered into agreements for the purchase of a Northeast retail customer base from an undisclosed seller operating in over twenty gas and power markets.

National Gas & Electric, LLC is wholly owned by W. Keith Maxwell III, who is also the Founder and Chairman of Spark Energy. National Gas & Electric, "is working alongside Spark to develop a strategy that maximizes Spark's ability to aggressively pursue additional growth through M&A."

We have a strong working relationship with this seller and are confident that they will continue to be successful in their growth strategy.
