Exhibit 99.4


                                 AMENDMENT NO. 1
                        TO EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This Amendment No. 1 to Executive Employment Agreement (this "Amendment")
is entered into as of November 17, 2005, by and among Commerce Energy Group,
Inc. ("CEG"), Commerce Energy, Inc. (formerly, Commonwealth Energy Corporation,
and herein after referred to as "Commerce" and, together with CEG, the
"Company") and Peter Weigand ("Executive"). All capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Agreement (defined
below).

                                    RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Executive Employment
Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2004 (the "Agreement"), by and among the CEG,
Commerce and Executive, pursuant to the terms set forth herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

1.   Section 7(c)(ii) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
     entirety as follows:

               If Executive voluntarily elects and agrees not to engage in
          Prohibited Activities (as hereinafter defined) for a period of six (6)
          months after the date of such termination of employment, the Company
          shall pay Executive as additional compensation for the periods
          subsequent to the termination date, the amount of five hundred
          sixty-six thousand six hundred sixty-six dollars and sixty-six cents
          ($566,666.66) in cash, which is equal to Executive's annual Base
          Salary of $400,000, divided by 12 and then multiplied by 17 (the
          "Severance Amount"). The Severance Amount shall be payable in a lump
          sum on April 10, 2006 (which is the first business day after the
          expiration of the six month period commencing on the day after the
          Termination Date, as defined in the Settlement Agreement and General
          Release among Executive, CEG and Commerce). If Executive does not so
          voluntarily elect and agree or otherwise engages in such Prohibited
          Activities, then Executive's eligibility to receive the
          post-employment benefits provided for in this Section 7(c)(ii) shall
          immediately thereafter terminate. For purposes of this Agreement,
          "Prohibited Activities" shall mean directly or indirectly engaging as
          an owner, employee, consultant or agent of any company that competes
          in deregulated markets with the Company in the marketing of natural
          gas and/or electricity to retail customers. It is expressly understood
          that direct employment by a regulated utility company with or without
          an unregulated retail marketing subsidiary would not be a Prohibited
          Activity, while employment by or engaging in such activities with an



          unregulated retail marketing subsidiary of the same utility company
          would be a Prohibited Activity.

2.   If Executive exercises his right to revoke Sections 6, 12 and 14 of the
     Settlement Agreement and General Release (the "Settlement Agreement") by
     and between the Executive, CEG and Commerce dated November 17, 2005
     pursuant to Section 15(c) thereof, which exercise must be effected by a
     writing signed by Executive and delivered to CEG's Chief Executive Officer
     before the close of business on the seventh calendar day after Executive
     signs the Settlement Agreement, then this Amendment shall simultaneously
     become null and void.

3.   No other provisions of the Agreement are affected by this Amendment.

                             [Signatures to follow]


                                      -2-
