Commerce Energy and ACN Launch Big Business Program For California, Ohio and Texas Markets COSTA MESA, Calif., June 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Commerce Energy Group, Inc. (AMEX:EGR) the largest non-utility retail energy marketer in the U.S. and ACN, Inc., the world's largest direct selling company serving the telecommunications and energy markets have expanded their existing relationship and are announcing the launch today of the Big Business program for ACN's Independent Representatives. Under the new program, ACN Independent Representatives will now be able to offer custom pricing and products to larger businesses with which they have relationships in addition to their existing ability to sign up homes and small businesses. Commerce Energy will work directly with the ACN Big Business contacts to develop the custom pricing and product offers as well as finalize contracts. The Big Business Program was initially launched June 1 for natural gas customers in California and Ohio and electricity customers in Texas. In the future the program will be rolled out to all 19 Commerce Energy utility markets. "We expect the Big Business program to open up tremendous opportunities to develop the thousands of business relationships that our Independent Representatives have," explains Greg Provenzano, President and Co-Founder of ACN, Inc. "This exciting program is just what we had in mind when we joined forces with Commerce Energy as the exclusive electricity and natural gas supplier for our family of representatives." "In talking with many of the ACN representative leaders, we developed the idea of leveraging their business relationships, which we believe is an obvious win-win situation for all parties. We already service thousands of businesses and provide custom quotes and products to those markets, and we believe ACN has the ability to give us access to thousands of additional business relationships. We are very excited about the program," said Peter Weigand, President of Commerce Energy.
