Energy company to give away free natural gas

Intelligent Energy, one of the fastest-growing natural gas resellers in the U.S., will be providing thousands of New York and New Jersey residents with two months of natural gas for their homes at a decidedly unnatural price: $0. According to the company’s president, Darin Cook, “Many New York and New Jersey residents are still not aware that, thanks to deregulation, they have a choice for purchasing natural gas for their home. In order to get that message out, we had to come up with an offer that would open some eyes.” The free two-month offer, available only to residential customers, involves no headaches or commitments, according to Bill Kinneary, vice president of Northeast Marketing and Sales for the company. Kinneary said, “You don’t leave your gas utility — they continue to read your meter and provide service. At the end of the two-month trial period, the customer can, if they choose, remain with Intelligent Energy at their regular monthly deregulated rate, get price security by locking in a fixed rate, or return to purchasing gas from their utility with no penalty” The offer is valid to residential natural gas customers of all of the following New York and New Jersey utilities: Central Hudson Gas and Electric, Con Edison, Elizabethtown Gas, KeySpan Energy Delivery, National Fuel Gas, Nationalgrid, New Jersey Natural Gas, Orange and Rockland, Public Service Electric and Gas and South Jersey Gas. Residential customers who are interested in the free gas offer can call 1-877-IVE GOT GAS (1-877-483-4684), or visit www.IntelligentEnergy.org/freegas.
