DETROIT, June 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viper Networks, Inc. (Pink Sheets:VPER), a minority owner of Aequitas Energy, is pleased to announce that Aequitas Energy, Inc. has applied for market-based rate authority at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) as part of its establishment of a retail energy supply operation.
As reported by Energy Choice Matters, two entities currently share ownership of Aequitas, with Aequitas Energy's president holding ninety (90%) ownership and Viper Networks, Inc. (the company), with ten percent (10%).

Projected retail market entry is December 2012.
As stated in a previous Viper Networks' press release, Aequitas Energy is gearing up for rapid growth in the residential and commercial markets in Connecticut and Massachusetts, and also expects to expand to natural gas in the near future.
