MXenergy Opens Bidding for Natural Gas on eBay
Published September 23rd, 2008
Ohio residents served by Columbia Gas or Dominion East Ohio can visit www.mxenergy.com/eBay to participate and outbid their neighbors for a chance to set their own price for a year’s supply of natural gas.
“This online auction will ‘empower’ bidders to set their own rate for natural gas and help manage energy costs,” explained MXenergy President and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Mayer. “As homeowners struggle with a tightening economy and skyrocketing energy costs, MXenergy is offering a unique way for them to set their own price for natural gas.”
Pricing is explained on the auction site and can be accessed at www.mxenergy.com/ebay. If the final bid price exceeds MXenergy’s current 12 month fixed rate, the excess will be donated to an Ohio charity. The offer is available only to bidders who live in the Columbia Gas of Ohio or Dominion East Markets.
MXenergy knows that energy costs strain household finances and is constantly working on innovative ways to help customers maximize their energy budget. While energy costs are among our top concerns, an MXenergy survey of American households show that only 30 percent of us understand how home energy prices are set and 90 percent feel they have limited or no control over their home energy costs.
“We want our customers to take control of their home energy spend and make the best energy choices, and there’s no better way to exercise that control by asking consumers to set the price they’ll pay - in a very out-of-the box way,” added Mayer.
