Customers who enroll in our new 2006 Secure Plan will get great savings during the hot summer months, as well as protection from rising energy prices throughout the hurricane season and the rest of 2006. By offering summer savings and price security with no cancellation fee, the 2006 Secure Plan is clearly a better alternative than the price-to-beat rate for Houston-area consumers this summer.
