WHITE PLAINS, NY, Jun 01 (MARKET WIRE) --
ConEdison Solutions, one of the nation's leading energy services
companies, is now offering clean and renewable "Green Power" to
Connecticut households and small businesses at a price lower than current
utility electricity rates. This limited time offer allows consumers to
save money while at the same time helping the environment.
Energy users who choose ConEdison Solutions as their competitive energy
supplier now have the option to select environmentally friendly wind power
as their energy source. The company's "Green Power" offering is fully
offset by 100 percent wind power generated in the United States.
"Today, one of America's top priorities is to expand the use of clean,
renewable energy," said Jorge J. Lopez, President of ConEdison Solutions.
"Offered at a price lower than that of the standard utility price, the
wind power alternative is now a compelling choice. Connecticut households
and businesses are now able to reduce their carbon footprint and reduce
their electricity bills at the same time."
ConEdison Solutions is currently offering green power at a savings of up
to 3% compared to the local utility price for non-renewable energy.
ConEdison Solutions green power is 11.98 cents per kilowatt hour and
generated entirely from wind. By comparison, CL&P and UI are charging 12.2
and 12.4 c/kwh for energy supplied by coal, oil, and nuclear power plants.
Typically, green power is sold at a premium to conventional energy. With
ConEdison Solutions you can not only make a contribution to the
environment but also save money by switching.
Instead of drawing on traditional energy supplies, local residents and
businesses purchasing wind power contribute pollution-free electricity to
the electricity grid, which displaces power that would have otherwise been
produced from non-renewable sources. Wind energy creates no harmful air
emissions and no greenhouse gases. It also supports domestic energy
production because it is generated at wind farms here in the United
States.
For typical residential customers, switching to Green Power is the
equivalent of offsetting 8,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Wind
energy is the fastest-growing renewable energy source in the world.
More than 135,000 Connecticut customers now receive electricity from such
alternate energy suppliers as ConEdison Solutions, and the number
continues to increase. There are no switching fees and no cancellation
fees for energy users opting for Green Power. The local utility company
continues to deliver the electricity and perform such traditional
services as outage response and meter reading.
It is quick and easy for households and small businesses to save money and
make a positive contribution to the environment by getting a copy of their
bill and calling 1-866-469-4362. Consumers can also visit
