[edit] History

Amigo (Spanish for friend) was founded by two Hispanic businessmen – a father and son team with more than 20 years of collective experience in the Texas deregulated electricity market.

Amigo services customers throughout almost all deregulated transmission areas in Texas.

[edit] Partnership with the Houston Dynamo

The Houston Dynamo reached a four-year sponsorship agreement with Amigo Energy on August 15, 2007, making the Houston-based retail electricity provider the largest sponsor in the franchise's history.[1] As part of the commitment, Amigo Energy becomes the official jersey sponsor of the Dynamo. The Houston franchise are the sixth league team to sign jersey sponsors, along with Red Bull New York, Los Angeles, Chivas USA, Real Salt Lake and Toronto FC.

The Amigo Energy logo will appear on all team jerseys, along with other on-field gear, effective Sunday, August 19. Amigo Energy also becomes the official home and business retail energy provider of the Dynamo. As part of the deal, Amigo Energy will establish a focused marketing strategy that uses the Dynamo in co-branded advertising, customer retention, and new customer acquisition programs.[2]

The new replica Dynamo jersey with the Amigo Energy logo is being produced by Adidas.
