THE CUSTOMER’S ADVOCATE ON NATURAL GAS ISSUES

Stand Energy Corporation (SEC) is a privately held corporation formed in 1984 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Judith A. Phillips and Matth Toebben founded SEC in response to deregulation in the natural gas industry that allowed marketing of natural gas and related volume management services to industrial and commercial consumers. SEC's founders continue to be active in the company.

SEC initially concentrated on large multi-location industrial customers. Over time, the focus of operations has broadened to include all size industrial customers and larger commercial customers. SEC has also participated in several choice programs for residential and small commercial customers.

In addition to natural gas marketing and related volume management services, SEC has constructed several utility by-pass pipelines with direct interstate pipeline connections for customers. For other customers, SEC has designed and built propane alternate fuel installations to take advantage of reduced gas rates for interruptible service.
