EGR Commerce Energy Grp.,

Commerce Energy Group, Inc. (AMEX:EGR), a leading U.S. electricity and natural gas marketing company, today announced the re-branding of its traditional energy service plans as Smart Choice. This move further supports Commerce Energy�s position as a competitive energy provider, encouraging the growth of innovative energy programs and furthering consumer education. �Many energy consumers in competitive markets have still not exercised their choice by selecting an energy provider,� said Thomas Ulry, senior vice president, Sales & Marketing. ��Choice� is a powerful word which can help customers improve their lives, their businesses and the environment.� Earlier, the company�s clean energy product, Clear Choice, was launched in January to provide 100% or 50% wind-generated electricity to residential and small business consumers in Texas and Maryland. �The re-branding of our traditional energy service plans links both traditional and clean energy offerings with �choice,� which is what competitive energy providers bring to the market,� said Ulry. �We�re making it easier for our customers to understand the costs of the commodity (electricity or natural gas) they use. We�re also finding ways to help our customers better understand how they can take control of those costs to lower their energy bills.� About Commerce Energy Group, Inc.
