Blue Skies Over Texas Announces New Community Partnership Grant Program; Nearly $1 Million Available for Dallas/Fort Worth Area Non-Profits.

DALLAS -- Blue Skies Over Texas, LLC, an authorized representative of Green Mountain Energy Company, is pleased to announce a new grant program in support of Dallas/Fort Worth (D/FW)-area non-profit organizations. E[acute accent]Blue Skies Environmental Education, LP, has been formed and funded by a group of community philanthropists that have a strong interest in supporting local charities as well as an active desire to promote grass roots education on the subjects of renewable energy and clean air. This new entity hopes to distribute as much as $1 Million in grants through this program during the next two years. E[acute accent]"We feel this is a great way for us to give back to our community," said David Matthews, general manager of Blue Skies Over Texas. "We are educating folks about a very real issue in our area -- air pollution -- as well as giving non-profit organizations an opportunity to receive grant money for the important work they do. It is truly a win-win situation." E[acute accent]Blue Skies Over Texas will offer a $1,000 grant to non-profit organizations in the D/FW area that participate in a presentation that is about 20 minutes in duration and covers the issues of air pollution and its causes, deregulation, renewable energy, and the difference a household can make just by switching its electricity service to Green Mountain Energy(R). E[acute accent]A group, defined in this case as 20 or more D/FW-area households, could be comprised of employees, professional organizations, affinity groups, neighborhood groups, or friends and family members. E[acute accent]Thus far, supporters of over two dozen D/FW-area non-profits -- including the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Rainbow Days, United Way, and KERA -- are actively promoting these presentations among their respective constituencies. E[acute accent]Green Mountain Energy Company Products Offered Through Blue Skies Over Texas

E[acute accent]--Pollution Free(sm) - Brand new to the market, the Pollution Free product is clean, affordable electricity from wind and water. By signing up for Pollution Free electricity, a Texas residential customer with average monthly electricity usage of 1,000 kilowatt-hours can help avoid over 1,700 pounds of CO2 emissions in a year. This is a significant reduction in the average American household's share of CO2 emissions. Pollution Free electricity from Green Mountain Energy Company is priced at a variable rate that will be the same as the incumbent utility's "Price to Beat" -- meaning no additional dollars out of the customer's pocket when compared to the incumbent utility.

E[acute accent]--100% Wind - the 100% Wind product is clean electricity generated completely from wind power. By signing up for Green Mountain Energy Company's 100% Wind product, a Texas residential customer with average monthly electricity usage of 1,000 kilowatt-hours can help avoid nearly 18,000 pounds of CO2 per year, equivalent to about 20,000 miles not driven in a year. 100% Wind electricity from Green Mountain Energy Company is priced at a variable rate that will be a penny per kilowatt-hour more than the incumbent utility's "Price to Beat," or about $10 more per month for the average Texan.

E[acute accent]Both of these products are also offered with a Reliable Rate option. With the Reliable Rate option, pricing for the company's Pollution Free(sm) and 100% Wind products can now be locked in at a guaranteed rate for a 12-month period, protecting against price uncertainty and a volatile energy market.
