Overview, company details, product information, news, events, rankings and Rep listings for Green Mountain Energy.
Original Npros business profile for Green Mountain Energy, preserved below for archival purposes:
Green Mountain Energy is a renewable electricity and sustainability-services company founded in Vermont in 1997 with the mission of changing the way power is made. The company sells residential and business electricity plans backed by renewable energy certificates, along with carbon offsets, solar-related products, and commercial sustainability services. Green Mountain became one of the best-known retail energy brands focused on cleaner electricity and now operates as part of NRG Energy, which acquired the company in 2010 for $350 million in cash.
GMREP.com was used as a representative-marketing domain connected to Green Mountain Energy's independent sales channel. Public records and older sales references show replicated representative URLs under the gmrep.com domain, and Green Mountain Energy sales agents used direct-sales and network-marketing-style methods to speak with potential customers at events, retail locations, and through personal contact. The opportunity centered on enrolling electricity customers into Green Mountain's renewable energy plans rather than selling a conventional consumer product such as supplements, cosmetics, or household goods.
Green Mountain Energy's sales model was different from a traditional product-based MLM. Representatives marketed renewable electricity service in deregulated energy markets, where customers could choose an alternative retail electric supplier. Older reporting described Green Mountain Energy network marketers explaining the benefits of electricity from 100% renewable resources and working with prospective customers who were eligible to switch suppliers or had contracts nearing expiration.
The current Green Mountain Energy business is not presented publicly as an active MLM opportunity through GMREP.com. GreenMountainEnergy.com now serves as the company's primary public site for residential electricity plans, business energy services, customer support, sustainability information, and account management. GMREP.com does not appear to be operating as a current representative-enrollment site.
Green Mountain Energy has also faced regulatory scrutiny involving sales and marketing practices. In 2022, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission approved a settlement involving allegations of misleading or deceptive marketing and unauthorized customer enrollments. Under that settlement, Green Mountain agreed to pay a $156,000 civil penalty, refund the electric generation supply portion of affected customers' bills for the first two billing periods after improper switching, refund certain cancellation or early termination fees, and submit monthly complaint reports for one year.
In 2026, Green Mountain Energy Company was also one of nine NRG-affiliated energy service companies included in a New York Public Service Commission settlement involving alleged overbilling and regulatory violations. The affiliated companies agreed collectively to provide $50 million in billing adjustments to 278,000 current and former residential and small commercial customers, offer a guaranteed savings product valued at up to $21 million, and provide more than $900,000 in billing adjustments for certain low-income customers. Green Mountain remains active as a renewable energy retail brand under NRG Energy.
