IGS Energy's Acquisition of Just Energy: A Game Changer for North America's Retail Energy Market
IGS Energy's Acquisition of Just Energy
On July 1, 2025, IGS Energy proudly announced the successful completion of its acquisition of Just Energy, a significant milestone that positions the company as one of North America's foremost energy retailers. The merger unites a robust workforce of 2,250 employees and serves approximately 7.5 million residential customer equivalents (RCEs) across the deregulated energy markets in the United States and Canada.
Strategic Synergy
The newly formed entity continues to operate with Just Energy's established brands, which include Just Energy, Hudson Energy, Amigo Energy, and Tara Energy. By maintaining these independent brands, the combined company can leverage Just Energy's proven operational model while expanding its market reach significantly. The acquisition also allows both companies to capitalize on their respective strengths and enhance their customer offerings.
Scott White, the president and CEO of IGS Energy, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "We are delighted to officially welcome Just Energy and proud of the hard work and collaboration all the teams put in to make this new partnership a reality. Just Energy's highly successful origination channels, marquee retail relationships, and deep industry expertise are a perfect complement to our capabilities. Together, we're better positioned to seize new growth opportunities, particularly in Texas."
Based in Houston, Just Energy has been a leading figure in the retail energy sector for over 25 years, known for its innovative energy solutions. This acquisition significantly broadens IGS Energy's presence in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market, a long-term goal for the company, while strengthening its foothold in PJM markets across the region. Just Energy's integration into IGS Energy is designed not just to maintain its operational independence but also to enhance its capacity to deliver exceptional value to its customers.
Future Outlook
Michael Carter, CEO of Just Energy, underscored the shared vision for the future, stating, "Now that the deal has closed, we are excited to move forward with our shared vision of delivering superior energy solutions. Our customers, business partners, and employees will benefit from the combined strengths of Just Energy and IGS Energy as we continue to provide the reliable, high-quality service they've come to expect."
As this new chapter unfolds, IGS Energy is poised to solidify its leadership in North America's retail energy market. The focus will be on offering innovative and sustainable energy solutions to both commercial and residential customers.
