13850 Ballantyne Corporate Place Suite 150 Charlotte, NC 28277 Media Contact: XOOM Energy, LLC p: 704.274.1450 f: 877.396.6041 For Immediate Release XOOM Energy Provides Natural Gas to California Businesses Charlotte, NC, August 29, 2011: Businesses owners make hundreds of decisions to keep their companies running smoothly and efficiently. California businesses now have the opportunity to make one smart decision about their energy needs that will provide value and reliability. Small and medium businesses throughout the state are choosing XOOM Energy as their natural gas service provider. XOOM Energy made its California debut in July 2011, giving residential customers more options for their natural gas needs. And now, business customers in the Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Gas and San Diego Gas & Electric markets have a choice in their energy plans, too. “We’ve seen how well our residential customers have responded to the value our plans have,” Tom Ulry, CEO of XOOM Energy said. “We offer that same value to our business customers, knowing that the flexibility of our plans could positively impact their bottom line.” Business owners wanting the peace of mind that comes with a locked-­‐in energy rate can choose a BizLock 12 plan; and those who can absorb more flexibility in pricing can choose BizChoice, a variable rate plan that takes advantage of market-­‐based prices. California is a deregulated energy market where customers have options in who supplies their natural gas service. In these markets, customers are no longer obligated to purchase energy from their local utility company. They can choose an energy service provider, such as XOOM Energy who purchases energy on its customers’ behalf – giving customers more options “When we provide energy to the restaurants, laundry facilities, convenience stores and hotels in our California markets, we are becoming a vital part of our customers’ lives and daily routines,” Mr. Ulry said. “And we don’t take that responsibility lightly.” XOOM Energy’s commitment to its customers – both residential and business – includes a simple, straightforward method to energy services, which is why businesses can now enroll online at xoomenergy.com – the same way residential customers are able to.
