Constellation offers renewable option to customers

Constellation Electric CleanEnergy enables Maryland customers to match 100% of usage with renewable energy certificates from wind power, offering fixed-rate plans, green electricity, and easy enrollment options for residential supply in competitive markets.

Constellation Energy announced that Constellation Electric is offering a renewable electricity supply option to residential customers in the BGE utility service area in Central Maryland.

The new offering, Constellation Electric CleanEnergy, gives customers the ability to match 100 percent of their electricity with renewable energy certificates from clean, renewable wind power sources.

"Our customers have been making smart environmental choices by reducing their energy demand through energy efficient products and services, and with Constellation Electric CleanEnergy we wanted to give them the option of improving the sustainability of their energy supply too," said Kevin Klages, president & CEO of BGE HOME, the company offering Constellation Electric service. "Restructured energy markets like Maryland's give customers the ability to shop for their power, and this creates more options, such as the ability to select 100 percent wind power for their homes."

Constellation Electric has a 100 percent wind product offered at a one- or two-year fixed rate option. Constellation Electric CleanEnergy, which follows the company's investment in a Maryland wind project underway, is accepting enrollments for its current wind offer through June 25. Current Constellation Electric customers who wish to add the wind option to their existing electricity supply contract can do so for an additional 1 cent/kWh by calling Constellation Electric through June 25. For details on the plans and to switch supply service, customers can visit www.constellation-electric.com/wind or call 1-888-219-4239.

Customers can also select non-renewable supply options and choose between fixed prices that vary depending on term and offer date, while Constellation builds a 300 kW solar power system to expand clean energy choices. Customers will not incur any additional fees, taxes or charges for enrolling with Constellation Electric.

Customers who purchase electricity from Constellation Electric, or any competitive supplier, such as Accent Energy and others, will still receive a single bill from the utility, which will continue to read the meter, respond to emergencies and deliver the power to customers.
