I’m Texas Energy Analyst Alan Lammey. Maybe you’ve heard me on the radio talking about the market forces that drive energy prices. I’m here to tell you that you’re not stuck paying those high prices to big electric companies anymore! Stop it.

We Challenge What You Pay For Electricity!If SparkPowerBank isn’t your current electricity provider…chances are you're paying too much!
SIGN-UP TODAYRight Online!
Some electric companies talk about “Simple” rate plans – that just means it costs you more!Others brag that they’ll “Send you a Rebate” – that just means you’re already paying too much!!
Why would you want to go with an electric provider that charges you more, when youcan go to www.sparkpowerbank.com and pay far less for the same electricity?
Make sense?
