HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- New Direct Energy customers now enjoy two years of Amazon Prime, which will be included with any Direct Energy “On Us” electricity plan, and are all 100 percent renewable. The “On Us” plans from Direct Energy include a fixed-rate electricity plan or a fixed-rate electricity plan with free nights or free weekends, any of which allow customers to save on their electricity bills.

Direct Energy began collaborating with Amazon in 2018. Their latest joint undertaking, the “On Us” electricity suite, includes the following electricity plans: Twelve Hour Power On Us, offering free electricity between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m.; Free Power Weekends On Us, offering free power from Friday night at 6 p.m. until midnight on Sunday; and Live Brighter On Us, offering a fixed rate for 24 months.

“With this newest offer, Direct Energy makes it easy and seamless for customers to find the right electricity plan for their needs, with the added savings, convenience, and entertainment with Amazon Prime—all in a single membership,” said Britany Keller, Marketing Lead, Direct Energy. “Our customers can begin enjoying Prime membership as quickly as a day after they start service on an eligible plan with Direct Energy. We are thrilled to continue to bring our customers new ways to enjoy Amazon Prime through our suite of ‘On Us’ plans.”

Every new Direct Energy customer who signs up for an “On Us” electricity plan, whether they’re new to Prime or an existing Prime member, can enjoy Direct Energy’s latest offer. Customers can sign up for Prime membership via the Direct Energy activation link provided after a completed electricity enrollment. Existing Prime members will receive a $15 gift card that will be automatically applied to their Amazon account each month for the length of their contract term.
