History
Champion Energy Services, LLC was first licensed by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) in 2004.[3] After entering the market in 2005, Champion has seen strong growth and currently serves around 2,000,000 residential customer equivalents, with a peak load of near 4,500 megawatts.
Products and Services
Champion Energy Services offers a variety of retail plans depending on the market served and the customer classification. All markets and customer classifications can select fixed price plans that allow customers to lock in an electricity rate for the term of the agreement. For commercial customers, more complex options are available including index, hybrid (fixed and index combinations), block and index, and layered purchase options. These commercial plans are customer-specific, require greater customer involvement, and have a substantially different risk profile than fixed price plans.[4]
