2009-11-07T15:42:00.000-08:00

Ambit Energy offers our Independent Consultants an unequalled income opportunity with unlimited earnings potential. It is a home-based business with flexible working hours. It is a chance to earn some extra money or to start a new career. It is a path to take control of your time so you can spend more of it with your family and friends.

The Perfect Product

Energy is the perfect product to offer: everyone needs it, everyone understands it, everyone uses it every day, and everyone likes to save money on their monthly bills. Energy demand is growing and states all across the country are just beginning to open their energy markets to competition.

The Perfect Timing

Texas is leading the country as a model for deregulation. It is the 11th largest electricity market in the world. In Texas alone, residential customers spend over $24 billion dollars every year and most of those customers are still paying the highest rates in the market. Ambit Energy provides an opportunity to save money and earn income at the same time.

In New York, Ambit Energy serves the ConEd and National Grid territories in New York (electric and gas), and the National Grid gas (formerly KeySpan) territory on Long Island. In our service area there are 3.4 million potential electricity customers who pay an average bill of $100 a month, and only 10% of those have switched to an ESCO. Add natural gas service, and potential commissions and bonus income is more than doubled for our Consultants. Statewide, electricity is a $10 billion market, and Ambit has expansion opportunities into the service areas for Orange & Rockland, Rochester Gas & Electric, and Niagara Mohawk.

In Illinois, Ambit Energy competes for residential natural gas customers in the Nicor Gas service area. In our service area there are 2.1 million potential customers that represent more than $2 billion in annual revenue.

Power Your Future

Ambit Energy encourages the entrepreneur and supports the pursuit of excellence. We are committed to our Independent Consultants. And we are working hard every day to make sure they have the best opportunity available to take advantage of energy deregulation to power their financial future.

Join us. We'll make you proud.

What is Ambit Energy?

Ambit Energy's vision is to be the finest and most respected retail energy provider in the United States. Our employees and Independent Consultants are the heart and soul of Ambit Energy. We treat them right, help them reach their personal goals, emphasize high standards of integrity and excellence, and obsessively keep our costs low. As a result, our customers are the real winners.
Ambit Energy was founded in 2006 with this vision in mind, and as a result, we're one of the fastest growing retail energy providers in the markets in which we operate. CEO Jere Thompson located Ambit's offices in a renovated warehouse in the historic West End district of downtown Dallas, Texas, and bought $19 fold-up tables to use as desks. He assembled an experienced team of executives who shared his goals for integrity, excellence, and frugality. In 2008, Ambit achieved profitability and recorded revenues of almost $200 million. The company expects to double that in 2009. And members of the executive team, including Mr. Thompson, still sit at those $19 fold-up tables.
"We're bringing innovation to an industry that's been around for a 100 years, that's never seen it before," said Mr. Thompson. "I think that's what you'll continue to see from Ambit Energy going forward."
