History

Stream at the Tollway Center building in Dallas, TX

Stream Gas & Electric Ltd. (d/b/a Stream Energy) was founded in August 2004 by Rob Snyder and Pierre Koshajki, after the deregulation of the Texas electricity market. Stream was licensed as a retail electrical provider by the Public Utilities Commission of Texas on 21 January 2005 and formally began operations through the initial enrollment of Texas electricity customers on 7 March 2005. The company has since expanded to sell energy in Pennsylvania (2010), Maryland (2011), New Jersey (2011), New York (2012), and Washington, D.C. (2012).[2]

In 2016, Stream announced that Larry Mondry has been selected by the firm’s board of managers as its new president and chief executive officer.[1]

Stream moved its headquarters from the Infomart building on Stemmons Freeway to the Tollway Center office building on Dallas Parkway in North Dallas in May 2017.[3][4]

Multi-level marketing

In 2014, Stream merged its separately-branded multi-level marketing arm, Ignite, into the Stream brand.[5] Using the multi-level marketing model, Stream associates can earn commissions either from selling to customers or recruiting new sales associates, after they gather a required minimum number of energy customers. Local meetings known as "Business Presentations" are held to promote the concept. Sales associates also maintain internet-based "homesites" that serve as informational web forums for recruits.

In 2010, the sign-up cost in Georgia was $300, with a $25 monthly fee to maintain a website. Associates typically received between $0.50 and $3 a month for each customer they recruited.[6]

According to Stream Energy's income disclosure statement, among sales associates who maintained their position qualifications throughout calendar year 2013 and earned at least one commission or bonus payment (representing 84.5% of all sales associates), the average annual income was $686.90; for the majority (81.9%) of those associates, the average annual income was $117.12.[7]
