ConEd Solutions separates itself as a green leader.

ConEdison Solutions, one of the nation's leading energy services companies, has emerged as one of New England's leading providers of clean and renewable "Green Power." The company makes renewable energy available to a wide range of energy customers in New Hampshire, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

"As a matter of national policy, America is committed to the expansion of renewable energy," said Jorge J. Lopez, President of ConEdison Solutions. "In New England, our company is proud to be playing a key role in broadening access to clean power. By facilitating the region's transition to renewable power, we are privileged to be helping New England preserve the environment and decrease dependence on fossil fuels."

In July, the State of New Hampshire selected ConEdison Solutions to provide wind power for 25 percent of the electricity purchased by state facilities. Governor John Lynch said the wind power purchase would help the state achieve its goal of deriving 25 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2025. The wind power contract--selected on a competitive basis--runs through May 2010.

ConEdison Solutions also provides "Green Power" at competitive prices in Connecticut. Since June, the company has offered a price for 100-percent wind power that is lower than the competing utility's price for electricity from conventional sources. More than 200,000 Connecticut customers now purchase electricity from alternate energy suppliers such as ConEdison Solutions, and the number continues to increase as does the number of customers who choose renewable energy.

The energy supplier is also "greening" the Cape Cod area of Massachusetts. By joining Cape Light Compact Green, customers in the Cape Cod/ Martha's Vineyard-area can source either 50 percent or 100 percent of their monthly electricity purchases from local and regional renewable sources. Cape Light Compact, a regional energy services organization made up of all 21 towns of Barnstable and Dukes counties, delivers proven energy efficiency programs, effective consumer advocacy, and competitive electricity rates by leveraging the combined buying power of the region's 200,000 electric consumers to negotiate for lower-cost power supply and other public benefits. ConEdison Solutions is the Cape Light Compact's electricity supplier.

ConEdison Solutions' "Green Power" offering is fully offset by renewable power generated in the United States. For typical residential customers, switching to "Green Power" is the equivalent of offsetting approximately 8,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
