The company provides electricity and natural gas to residential and commercial customers in 12 deregulated states: Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Texas. Business modelNorth American Power formerly used a multi-level marketing model to sell utilities,[3][3] On January 2015, the company announced that it would be terminating the network marketing division of its company. In January 2011, the Maryland Public Service Commission (MPSC) began an investigation of the company for misleading sales practices.[4] On 9 June 2011, the company was fined $100,000 by the MPSC.[5][6] On 16 August 2013, the commission closed the file after finding that the company had completed the required remedial measures it had agreed to.[7] In a statement, founder Kerry Breitbart attributed the problems to rapid growth, and stated that the company was improved by its re-examined practices.[8] The company also sold Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) through their American Wind program.[9][10] A 2014 report by environmental watchdog group EcoRI said that the company did not specify if these certificates were from the older class of RECs, or from the substantially more expensive and efficient newer class. North American Power said that the RECs were certified by ISO New England, although that organization said they do not certify RECs.[11] North American Power was placed at #57 on Forbes list of "America's Most Promising Companies" in 2011.[12] In 2014, North American Power was listed as one of "America's Fastest Growing Private Companies" by Inc. magazine.[13] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.energydigital.com/company/139/North-American-Power |title=North American Power |publisher=Energy Digital |date=27 October 2015 |access-date=27 January 2018 |first=Rafael |last=Tablado }} 2. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.hartfordbusiness.com/article/20130522/NEWS01/130529912 | title=North American Power opens Norwalk HQ | publisher=Hartford Business | date=22 May 2013 | accessdate=9 January 2014}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Hincha-Ownby|first1=Melissa|title=Renewable energy, network marketing and regulatory woes|url=http://www.mnn.com/money/sustainable-business-practices/blogs/renewable-energy-network-marketing-and-regulatory-woes|accessdate=4 November 2014|work=Mother Nature Network|date=21 July 2011}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Hancock|first1=Jay|title=Misleading electric ads make case for reregulation|url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2011-02-06/business/bs-bz-hancock-electric-ads-20110206_1_electricity-deregulation-viridian-energy-bge-households|accessdate=4 November 2014|work=The Baltimore Sun|date=6 February 2011}} 5. ^{{cite news | url=http://thedailyrecord.com/2011/06/13/psc-fines-energy-seller-100k-for-deceptive-practices/ | title=PSC fines energy seller $100K for deceptive practices | date=13 June 2011 | last=Mook | first=Ben | newspaper=Daily Record | location=Baltimore, Maryland}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://webapp.psc.state.md.us/Intranet/casenum/CaseAction_new.cfm?CaseNumber=9253 |title= Case Number: 9253 IN THE MATTER OF THE COMPLAINT OF THE STAFF OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION AGAINST NORTH AMERICAN POWER AND GAS, LLC |publisher=Maryland Public Service Commission |accessdate=21 September 2013}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://webapp.psc.state.md.us/Intranet/casenum/NewIndex3_VOpenFile.cfm?ServerFilePath=C:\\Casenum\\9200-9299\\9253\\\\41.pdf |title=Order No. 85794 |date=16 August 2013 |publisher=Maryland Public Service Commission |accessdate=21 September 2013}} 8. ^{{cite web | url=http://thedailyrecord.com/2011/06/13/psc-fines-energy-seller-100k-for-deceptive-practices/ | title=PSC fines energy seller $100K for deceptive practices | last1=Mook | first1=Ben | publisher=The Daily Record | date=13 June 2011 | accessdate=31 October 2013| quote = "While the fine is significant, we are grateful to the PSC staff for bringing our attention to these matters and for acknowledging that this was not intentional — it was the result of an early stage company experiencing rapid growth.
