In the 11 retail markets that GDF SUEZ operates, the company has grown to serve more than 50,000 customer accounts.
“What we have seen in the market, even more so in this challenging economic climate, is that financially solid customers are looking to do business exclusively with financially solid power providers,” explained Gérard Mestrallet, GDF SUEZ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud that our growth in the retail arena in the United States has been entirely organic, self made, and a result of building our customer base one client at a time.”
