CHBA enters into an energy supply agreement with Glacial Energy.

(January, 2010- Chestnut Hill, PA)

In January, The Chestnut Hill Business Association (CHBA) using its initiative Chestnut Hill Electric Alternative Program (CHEAP) changed its preferred electric supplier to Glacial Energy for all participating businesses. The CHBA is a membership organization for 125 retailers and restaurants in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania and currently has more than 200 professional members.

The CHBA switched suppliers when the electric market in Pennsylvania fully deregulated after the existing electric rate caps on energy companies expired on December 31. The deregulation of the electricity market resulted in Peco Energy, the current electricity provider, raising prices by 4.9% a year. The Glacial Energy advantage of month-to-month contracts and indexed based pricing seemed a far superior option to the CHBA President Greg Welsh.

The CHBA also qualified for the Glacial Cares Program allowing them to receive rebates from Glacial Energy based on their combined monthly kilowatt usage. CHBA predicts savings of $10,000 to $20, 000 a year with Glacial Energy and has encouraged the Chestnut Hill Community Association (CHCA) to also sign with Glacial Energy to enjoy the benefits the retail energy supplier has to offer.

Glacial Energy is one of the fastest growing retail energy suppliers in the United States currently supplying electricity in 16 deregulated markets and 15 deregulated natural gas markets.

Glacial Energy is state option as AEP backs out of settlement with PUCO to freeze electricity rates.

(January 25, 2011- Central Ohio)

American Electric Power (AEP) abruptly decided to withdraw from a proposed settlement put forward by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO). The primary basis of the proposal specified that the rate cap for AEP Columbus Southern Power customers would change to 0 percent from 6 percent, not allowing any increased pricing. In turn AEP would not pay $18 million in environmental costs or any penalty incurred from excessive profits in 2009.

A delay in the settlement from the PUCO until January 2011 was brought about by objections from customer advocates and thus resulted in the settlement withdrawal by AEP. By cancelling discussions of a new settlement, AEP may now follow the previous agreement which allows them to raise rates by as much as 6 percent in 2011. Although AEP has claimed there will be no raised rate in January, an increased rate will generate an additional $114 million and cost the average customer $78 in 2011.

Since the deregulation of the Ohio energy market in 2008, customers have had the power to potentially save money on their electricity by switching to another supplier. Glacial Energy is a licensed Competitive Retail Electric Supplier (CRES) in Ohio and one of the fastest growing retail energy suppliers in the United States. Glacial Energy offers customers month-to-month contracts along with an indexed based product which can help customers save up to 20% on their utility bill.

PennSuburban Chamber of Commerce Offers Members Discount Electric

LANSDALE — The PennSuburban Chamber of Commerce hopes to provide reduced electricity rates to its members.

To that end, the chamber has teamed up with County Electric’s Energy Solutions Group.

The group can help businesses offset the increases created by the deregulation of the electricity market, according to Greg O’Brien, vice president of the County Electric Supply, located at 1111 N. Broad St., Hatfield Township.

“The savings could be between 10 and 15 percent,” O’Brien said.

On Jan. 1 the expiration of rate generation caps — as determined by the Electric Choice Act of 1997 — is expected to add an additional 10 to 20 percent cost for all users in the PECO territory, according to O’Brien.

Two group partners — Glacial Energy and Henderson Energy Consulting LLC — were represented by former Philadelphia Flyer Dave Schultz and former Philadelphia 76ers guard Gerald Henderson, respectively, at the chamber headquarters in Lansdale.

Glacial Energy utilizes a streamlined business model with an advanced back office infrastructure to address the needs of its commercial and industrial customer base, chamber President Robert Zelnick said.

The company will negotiate competitive supply rates for any business that signs up for the service, according to O’Brien.

“Most business owners are very aware of the coming change,” said Schultz, a business development manger with Glacial Energy. “They have been inundated with phone calls. Most understand what I am saying when I talk about this.”

Glacial Energy — in business since 2005 — operates in all 15 states where electricity rates have been deregulated, according to Schultz.

“Every entity, and every person, should change their suppliers,” he said.

Henderson Energy Consulting — based in Blue Bell — provides energy consulting, financial feasibility studies, complete energy audits, curtailment services and demand response, turnkey project management and utility procurement strategies, according to its Web site.
