About MegaLink Energy Supply
Over the years, Dick has evolved along with the energy industry, and when energy deregulation began to sweep the nation, he decided to start earning his living by helping energy consumers get the best possible rates for their particular needs.
In June 2009 Dick began working with various energy suppliers as an independent contractor. On January 25, 2012, MegaLink Energy Supply Inc. was formed and became officially licensed as a Competitive Energy Provider in the State of Maine. Since that time, he has expanded his business and become licensed to operate in several other states including Massachusetts.
