NEWS NEWS NEWS ************ (PR NEWSWIRE) DJ: Green Mountain Energy Resources Announces Participation DJ: Green Mountain Energy Resources Announces Participation in Pennsylvania's Electricity Retail Choice Program; Customer Enrollment Begins July 1, 1998 SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 22, 1998--Green Mountain Energy Resources today announced that it will participate in Pennsylvania's electricity retail choice program, for which customers can begin enrolling on July 1, 1998. "We want to introduce Pennsylvanians to a new kind of power company and a new kind of power," said Doug Hyde, President of Green Mountain Energy Resources. A leading provider of environmentally preferred renewable electricity, Green Mountain seeks to change both the way power is made and how people feel about buying it. In January 1999, when new suppliers will officially begin serving customers, Green Mountain will supply several power blends that are cleaner than the Pennsylvania system average and feature electricity from renewable sources like wind, water, and the sun. Energy generated from cleaner, renewable sources is less damaging to the environment and human health than energy created by fossil fuels. The availability of cleaner, renewable power enables customers to take a solid stance on a significant issue: the environmental consequences of generating electric power. "Our goal is to increase the demand for renewable energy in an effort to find a solution to one of the nation's biggest environmental problems, air pollution," said Hyde. "By changing how they spend their energy dollars, customers can help change the way power is made and, over time, improve the quality of our air and the well-being of our planet." For most retail products, customers can vote with their checkbooks for what they want. Now, because of electricity retail choice, Pennsylvania residents will be able to do the same with electricity. "Individuals can make a difference," says Green Mountain Energy Resources' Vice President of Marketing Kevin W. Hartley. "That's our message to residential customers and small businesses in California, Pennsylvania, and other states opening to competition. We want to let people know they do have power. With the right information and education, customers can make a positive difference in the planet's health and human health, benefiting everyone." Green Mountain Energy Resources is an independent retail power company dedicated to increasing demand for cleaner and renewable energy sources, preserving the environment for future generations, and establishing innovative ways for customers to interact with their energy provider.
