Green Mountain Energy Company Expands to New York City.

Residential and commercial customers in the Con Edison service territory can now choose a cleaner renewable energy product from Green Mountain, the only electric services company in New York City dedicated to cleaner energy.

The Con Edison service territory is the second electric market Green Mountain is serving in New York State. Green Mountain has been serving cleaner electricity to National Grid customers in Upstate New York since 2002, through the utility company’s “GreenUp” renewable energy program.

“We see tremendous growth potential for Green Mountain in New York City as more and more consumers are demanding cleaner electricity. The city has instituted policies promoting renewable energy and the state has put into place a regulatory structure that supports energy competition in general and cleaner energy in particular,” said Paul Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of Green Mountain Energy Company.

For residential customers Green Mountain will offer New Yorkers the choice between two electricity products that use cleaner renewable resources: Pollution Free(sm) electricity and the 100% Wind product. Pollution Free electricity is made from New York wind and water sources. The 100% Wind product helps support the development of renewable energy in America. For each month that a customer purchases the 100% Wind product, Green Mountain matches 100% of their monthly electricity usage with clean energy generated from wind power sources in the U.S.

For commercial customers Green Mountain’s Commercial Services division is offering small and medium commercial class customers customized cleaner energy solutions that include national or regional wind resources.

Green Mountain was founded in 1997 “to change the way power is made.” The company is the longest serving green power marketer in the U.S. Green Mountain offers consumers and businesses the choice of cleaner electricity products from renewable sources such as wind and water and carbon offset products. Green Mountain customers have collectively helped avoid over 4.9 million tons of CO2 emissions. (8/20/09)
