RICHARDSON, Texas - March 4, 2010 – Retail electricity provider Cirro Energy has expanded its electronic card payment program to give small and mid-size companies the option to pay their bills using a Visa or MasterCard. Unlike other electricity provider programs, the latest solution from Cirro Energy is free of charge when a commercial customer makes a payment with a credit card.

"Though the economy is rebounding, businesses are still monitoring their budgets carefully," said Mike Rose, managing director of Cirro Energy. "And our team is continually seeking ways to help them with smart, new solutions. That’s why we’re introducing a new commercial credit card payment plan, which will give small and mid-size businesses greater flexibility in managing their monthly payment options."

Cirro Energy has offered electronic payment options, including credit card payments, to residential customers since 2002. With this expanded program, Cirro Energy's small and mid-size commercial customers can now also make automatic, recurring or one-time payments using a Visa or MasterCard with no fee. Payments can be made through the Cirro Energy customer care center at 1.800.MY.CIRRO or online at www.cirroenergy.com. Companies taking advantage of this payment program may also enjoy benefits such as extra miles or points on their qualifying reward credit cards.

"The four cornerstones of Cirro Energy’s commercial program are our strong financial stability, low rates, personalized account management, and flexible options like our new free credit card payment plan, which is another financial tool to help our commercial clients stay competitive,” stated JP Schlensker, director of sales for Cirro Energy.

Cirro Energy is a subsidiary of Dominion, a Fortune 200 company. The retail electric provider supplies about 2.6 million megawatt hours of competitively priced electricity annually to over 80,000 residential and commercial customers in Texas.
