Green Mountain Energy - Company Information

“  We have had Green Mountain Energy for 3 years and have had absolutely no problems. Our electric bill has been the lowest we have every had. I have no reason to want to change and have 3 years of why I would recommend them to others. ”

“  At the time of deregulation, Green Mountain (GM) was the only company offering renewable energy. It cost more, but I chose GM for that reason. I've been with them ever since. I even sold GM for a year, because the company is good and I believe in clean energy. As a customer, I have never had a problem with billing or customer service. The website is excellent. I am only considering, and I mean only considering, switching companies because there are now companies with competing wind/renewable energy plans, but most look like bad companies, except Champion, whose rate is comparable to GM. Maybe the grass isn't really greener on the other side of the fence, and this cow will stay home. ”

“  I've had Green Mountain for three years now and it's been great. Can't complain. They're the only company I can find that only does renewable energy and also offsets all of their carbon emission from their operations. Haven't had any issues with billing. It's been about the same price. ”

“  Signed up at local HEB. Experience was great.
Switched from Reliant. Got first bill yesterday.
Saved $88.00 from last month with Reliant with similar KWHs and $132 from previous year and save
a few trees in the process. ”

“  Green Mountain Energy rates are very competitive at 10.5 cents per kilowatt for a 6 month contract, awesome! Ordering from Green Mountain is a snap with a highly trained staff and several options for ordering such as through the Green Mountain Energy Network.The customer service department is very Professional and extremely helpful.The billing department is currently going through some changes and wait times are a little longer than usual but once you get through, they will take care of you. I highly recommend this company and the only bad reviews are from people who create problems themselves and would otherwise not even post a good review, they just want people to believe that Green Mountain is at fault when really they are. Great company. ”

“  I find GME a pleasure to do business with. My rates are reasonable. *** I love that I get a weekly summary of my usage, it gives me a heads up on what my bill will be, and I always take the opportunity to adjust the amount of energy I consume. I always try to beat the prior weeks consumption. #NEVER ANY SURPRISES!!! ”

“  I've been with them for over 5 yrs. no gimmicks. not the cheapest rate but best bargain overall when you have stability of fixed rate and no unexpected fine prints. ”

“  I never had any problems with this company, I had a 714 sq ft apartment, gaming systems, fridge, washer, dryer and what not - paid about $135 a month during the summer, around $90 during the winter - sign up was easy, customer service was polite etc. ”

“  I've renewed my one year contracts twice. I've had only one issue and that was just recently, I switched products and then changed my mind and wanted to switch back. The CSR assured me I could, but it didn't happen. Needless to say, when my monthly bill arrived I went out to check and sure enough I was enrolled in the plan I said I didn't want. I was able to sort this out with a supervisor, she checked the calls and the account notes and names and dates. so I'm back on my variable plan, which is way lower than the fixed plan they had mistakenly contracted me into. I liked my experience with GME. I'm switching because their rates right now are 4 cents a kwH more than what others are charging fixed rate and they can't meet or beat their offer. So...market forces are why I will be switching out. If, after my contract with the new provider lapses and I'm shopping around again, I'd give them a go if they are competitive. My few customer service calls were always answered, even in the evening and when we had an outage once, they were very helpful, even though it was an Oncor thing. ”

“  I have had Green Mountain for the last 12 years. Good customer service, easy-to-used internet site. They are not the cheapest, but a good company. I have had no problems. ”

“  Green Mountain energy is a trusted name for renewable energy. We switched from Reliant just about a year ago, and our bill has been less! We've had no problems with them thus far. We plan on continuing our service with Green Mountain for another year. ”

“  I've been with Green Mountain for about 5 years, I called customer service about an issue, talked to 3 different reps got told 3 different answers. No one could give me a straightforward answer, customer service support is bad, other than that everything is fine. Hope I will never have to call again. ”

“  Green mountain was one of the only/few companies offering lower rates for using less than 1000 kwh. Our last bill, when we weren't using heat or ac was $45. ”

“  After two years of service I'm very happy with this company. They stick to only wind and solar energy and deep their rates very stable. Compared with other supply companies I've used I find the customer service easy to reach and very friendly. I've never had a problem with my bill or my power. ”

“  My Summer Energy contract was expiring on 6/8/2014, and my rates were jumping way up so I hunted for the cheapest company I could find (for <1000 KWH) that didn't have totally horrible reviews, and I settled on the GME month to month plan at 8.4 cents. I have been watching the rate carefully each month, and it has never increased to-date, and even dropped down to 8.23 cents this month. I use <1000 every month so I end up paying more per KWH (~9.1 cents) with the base charge included, but I looked today (10/7/14) and it's still the best rate I could find for <1000 KWH. I had no issues other than them charging me the $6.95 fee for the last 3 days of the previous "ONCOR Month" (I switched over to GME 3 days before ONCOR read the meter). When I complained, and after explaining for 30 minutes WHY this was a problem like 5 different times, the CSR finally agreed that, yes, it was dumb to charge me a full month's base charge for 3 days of service, and said he would make a note to credit the amount back to my account the next month, but it never happened. I use automated billing and have had no hassles. I did request the $100 rebate after 90 days that I was told about when I signed up, but I have heard nothing back yet. It says 6 to 8 weeks, though, and I submitted my request on 9/10. Maybe my good-ish experience is rare, or maybe only the people who have issues put their reviews here (vs. many more that don't). :-) ”

“  This is a pretty straight forward company. The customer service is good and you speak to Americans. I know have to check all the rates again as my contract is ending. The renew that they are offering just may be as good as I can get? I am a under 1000kw user most of the time. So, as with all the companies, I must be punished for using less electricity and conserving. I think for us using less electricity they have the best rates in that category. ”

“  No gimmicks &amp; straightforward service are what Green Mountain provides. Their bills are clear and easy-to-read. I like that they are really dedicated to clean energy. My only complaint is that I had to mail in a sheet with my credit card info or bank account info to get automatic payments set up. Before that, I was paying each month through their website. After I mailed in the paper, it has worked flawlessly. ”

“  I have had Green Mountain at 3 addresses over the last 9 years. They have always been fair but not always cheap. I am looking into another company now, but it is hard to leave because they have been hassle free for so long... ”

“  They are a great electric company with nice people who love what they do but they are expensive. Renewable energy is just not cheap I guess. ”

“  Extremely poor service, limited business hours, all service is contracted out.
pricing not competitive
beware of misc. charges
