Green Mountain Energy Receives Natural Gas Supplier License

The Illinois Commerce Commission recently granted Green Mountain Energy Company an alternative gas supplier license to serve residential and commercial customers in all service areas

"Green Mountain Energy Company intends to serve residential and small commercial customers in the service territories of Nicor Gas, Peoples Gas, North Shore Gas and Ameren Illinois," the company had said in its application, which had been first reported by EnergyChoiceMatters.com

At the time of its June filing of its application for an Illinois gas supplier license, Green Mountain Energy did not have any pending natural gas supplier applications in the United States, the company had said

According to a New York PSC ESCO directory, Green Mountain Energy is listed as being licensed for natural gas, but the company's most recently filed retail access application form reflected only electricity service areas as retail access programs in which the company, "participate[s], or intend[s] to participate," and the company has not appeared on the New York Power to Choose site for residential gas customers

Based on a June review of publicly listed supplier registries (which may not be updated frequently), Green Mountain Energy was not at that time licensed as a natural gas supplier in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Michigan, California, Massachusetts, or Georgia
