Update: Retail Supplier Files To Use Shell Energy Solutions Trade Name In Northeast Market

MP2 Energy NE LLC has filed with the District of Columbia PSC a notice of a new trade name: "Shell Energy Solutions"

As first reported by EnergyChoiceMatters.com, MP2 Energy Texas LLC recently filed, with the Texas Secretary of State, certificates of assumed business names for the names "Shell Energy Retail" and "Shell Energy Solutions". MP2 Energy Texas LLC has not yet filed at the Texas PUC to use either of the newly assumed Shell-branded business names.

Despite operating several retail suppliers in the U.S., including MP2 Energy, Shell does not currently use the Shell brand name for a mass market retail energy business in the U.S. (though the Shell logo and business affiliation are prominently featured on MP2 marketing materials)

Shell does use the Shell brand for its mass market retail energy business in the U.K.

Shell does operate a Shell-branded non-residential focused retail supplier -- Shell Energy North America (US) LP -- in various U.S. markets

As previously reported, Shell earlier this year acquired Texas REP Pulse Power, and has entered into a transaction to acquire Inspire Energy
