National Gas & Electric provided the following statement concerning the matter

"National Gas & Electric, LLC ('NG&E') is pleased to announce that we have reached resolution of this matter. NG&E utilized a mass mailing vendor to launch a postcard campaign to offer savings vs. the local utility’s price. Due to mail delays, some of the customers who accepted our offer after the local utility had lowered its rate and still received savings compared to the local utility’s rates, but at a lesser savings rate than would have been the case if timely received. NG&E has accepted responsibility for the mail merge and late mailing errors of its vendor and will continue to strive for innovative products to meet customer’s energy needs."
