Diamond Energy East, LLC, which is ultimately a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation, applied for a District of Columbia electric supplier license to serve all customer classes, including residential customers

In its application, Diamond Energy East stated, "Applicant intends to provide retail electric generation service to all end-user customer types in the District of Columbia, including residential, commercial, and industrial, as well as any other eligible classes of customers. Applicant may also offer additional energy-related products, which may include but are not limited to voluntary green energy products, the procurement of renewable energy certificates, demand response, distributed energy products or services, home energy management devices, energy management services, home service plans or other bundled products and services."

Diamond Energy affiliates expect to file for retail supplier licenses (or similar instruments) in New York and various New England states by the end of 2021
