HOUSTON, Sept. 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a report published September 7^th by Market Strategies International, Just Energy and Amigo Energy were identified to be among the top ten Most Trusted Brands in a pool of 52 Texas Retail Electric Providers (REPs) rated by customers. The most trusted brands are considered companies that customers have confidence in to do the right thing on their behalf. Amigo Energy also ranked in the top ten in last year’s report.

We are tremendously grateful to have their trust.”
