We Challenge What You Pay For Electricity!If SparkPowerBank isn’t your current electricity provider…chances are you're paying too much!
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.
Why pay more than you have to? Those days are over!
Why would you want to go with an electric provider that charges you more, when you can go towww.sparkpowerbank.com and pay far less for the same electricity?
