Glacial is not one of them in fact when I see customers with Glaial as their supplier I always run into the same thing they were all told that the rate they were given was fixed for 1 year which is a lie and most of them don't even realize this because their payment is taken directly from there checking account so they dont even pay attention to their bills to see exactly what their paying. Having a low fixed rate with the option for it to go down if the market price drops with a larger company is better then a variable with a smaller company, companies like glacial do not have the finacial resounces to offer business this. my biggest complaint is that they were lies to by glacial reps.

We have been with Glacial Energy's service for over a year and the savings that was shown to us has been proven true. There is no scam just people wanting to make noise. We spend on average $7,000 monthly on elecricity and have nothing but good things to say about Glacial Energy. I have read this article and live in NH and own a large business in NH.

If these new companies provide the service, they provide it at a lower or more competitive price - then we should all buy it! In our state, Glacial Energy is consistently providing commercial energy at a lower price. Consistently. And, if the customer does not like the results, he/she can opt out. YOU CAN OPT OUT! The only people continually trashing these new utility providers, are the old-school, blue blood, management heavy, borderline-monopoly-providers. You know who you are, and your time...is up!

Well I am the world’s biggest skeptic on everything. This lead me to stay back and wait, this is what I have found in the 8 weeks I have been watching this company and as friends of mine that have companies switched to Glacier . In my own research I have found that the people that switch are saving between 8 and 12 % there are the flukes that same 20 to 22% due to locked in rates. Now in my case Glacier could not help me, first we are in a contract and we have a very completive rate which Glacier pointed out and said we are better off staying with are supplier which is not DQE. Hope this helps all you buyers and remember I am not pitching Glacier just calling it like I see it. Energy buyer good luck I am going to stick my big toe in before I jump in. PS no signing fee or contract is a great selling point. A friend approached me with a business opportunity I would guess because I work a place that use a lost of electricity.

We are simply pointing out New Age Power Brokers unique compensation plan for selling electric service in Texas. New Age sales electric service for Glacial Energy in Texas and other states although these two companies are not the same. New Age is a broker and Glacial Energy is a very large electric provider. Just want to make sure no one confuses the two as they are not owned by the same company. They are completely seperate. New Age Power Broker doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong or unethical we just want to point out the compensation charts you see with direct sales and MLM companies look too good to be true sometimes. It is good to go into one these opportunities knowing that you will not be able to count on a perfect business referral break down as in the compensation chart. The chart is only for representation purposes only although people who attempt to get you in to an "opportunity" like to make it seem that the chart is a possibility for those who invest all their time and energy into the opp which isn't the case. We are not saying New Age is doing this or anything unethical with their business plan, model, or how they sell their electric service. We just want to make it clear what you can expect coming from a sober point of view rather than coming out of a hyped up sales meeting in a hotel conference room. Augie,

Researched/ googled company and was reluctant to pull the trigger because of crap I read on sites like this. Since there was no deposit and no contract, I eventually relented. Although the meter reading(s) took what seemed like forever, I am comfortable I made the right call. Was just auto-billed for the second time-- and currently paying about .065 kwh with Glacial-- far below my local utility at .078/kwh. I intend on monitoring the rates, but so far the score is Glacial 2 Duquesne 0. Approached by a Glacial Rep in August to switch my electricity supplier for my business in Pittsburgh.

Stacey did an outstanding explanation of mlm. Why is there still generalzation here regarding mlm scam? I love the fact people goto work everyday not realizing they themselves are trapped within a pyramid. Hello McFly everything is a pyramid!! Washington is a perfect example of pyramid scheme; except there you can buy your way up the ladder. So after reveiwing this, is New Age Power brokers another scam?? It would appear that every question which has arised has been explained, but its oky-doky when the electric or gas company screws us as they will right? We should just continue to allow this and not "break up" their monopoly by reselling their electric & gas right? Seriously think about it - you wanna break up monopoly companies yet your cutting the throat of the means of doing so by chastising what your not knowing? Sigh; Facepalm John Ok, where to start…

It will most likely cause those who have been involved or approached by a family member to question the validity of the company that they have been told will provide the Golden Parachute??? Those who began these MLM's have made fortunes, as have the CEO's and COO's of major companies. Those who have been drafted to sell to family and friends will most alway's ask themselves why they got involved in the first place. If it sounds to good to be true it is, there is already enough get rich quick on the market, good luck.
