Volunteer Services was supposed to provide savings as compared to Consumers Energy gas prices. Till the end of 2012 it was OK, no savings but no bad losses either.
When I got my bill for March 2014 for $257, I was shocked. THen I checked my bills for the whole 2013 till present. Gas Supplier was EDG. THeir rate was about $5.5to 6.5 /MCF for warm months but shoot to $8.69 and 11.99 for the last 2 months while Consumers Energy was charging $4.62/MCF. So deregulation worked well for Volunteer Energy but badly for consumers. The conclusion: VE is FRAUD!
