Citizens Energy Corporation

Citizens Energy Corporation is a non-profit organization that primarily aids the poor in the United States and throughout the world by organizing projects to provide discounted and free home heating services and supplies.
In 1979, using oil-trading ventures in Latin America and Africa, Citizens Energy began taking revenues from commercial enterprises to channel millions of dollars into charitable programs in the US and across the world.
Citizens Energy has grown into seven separate companies, including one of the largest energy conservation firms in the U.S. It became one of the nation's first energy firms to move large volumes of natural gas to more than 30 U.S. states.[1] As a precursor to market changes under electricity deregulation in the late 1990s, Citizens was a pioneer in moving and marketing electrical power over the grid.[2]
Citizens Energy currently provides free home heating oil for the elderly and the poor, lowers the cost of prescription drugs for millions of Americans citizens, and has started solar heating projects in Jamaica and Venezuela. Citizens creates these social ventures through financing by various businesses.[3]
Its founder and chairman is former Massachusetts Democratic Representative Joseph Patrick Kennedy II.
