A year ago, Commerce Energy (AMEX:EGR) started making electricity
generated by wind, which is now Green-e certified, available to its
customers. Commerce Energy, a leading U.S. energy marketing
company, launched Clear Choice clean energy on January 23, 2007,
with clearly defined 100% and 50% wind-generated electricity
available to customers in Texas and Maryland. During the year,
customers in Pennsylvania were also offered wind-generated
electricity. Commerce Energy Chief Executive Officer Steven S. Boss
said, �Our customers have told us how important it is to contribute
to the effort to clean up the environment for their families, now
and in the future. With Clear Choice, they can do that for just
pennies more a day. We continue to work with our suppliers to help
remove cost as a barrier to buying clean energy.� A flower shop
owner in Alice, Texas, said, �Clear Choice goes hand-in-hand with
my business. Green plants; clean air.� An Ellicott City, Maryland,
resident said, �We didn�t have 100% wind-generated electricity as
an option before. We�re happy to support sustainable generation.� A
Coppell, Texas, consumer said, �Everybody has to do a little bit to
clean up the air. Using wind-generated electricity is our way.�
Commerce Energy has �greened-up� its own offices by purchasing
green tags for both the Costa Mesa, California, and Dallas, Texas,
offices. The company also sponsored an energy-education program
called Switch It! for children in grades 1 � 4 in Dallas and Fort
Worth, including an energy-saving billboard design contest. The
winner of the billboard design contest can currently be seen on
billboards in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Commerce Energy
voluntarily complies with the highest clean-energy standards in
Texas, Maryland and Pennsylvania where Clear Choice is certified by
Green-e. Green-e is the nation�s leading independent certification
and verification program. It conducts audits to ensure that a
customer�s purchase of clean energy is actually delivered to the
grid. �Affordable, clean energy is just one of the benefits of a
deregulated energy market,� said Boss. �Much like the
telecommunications industry, a deregulated marketplace will result
in more options at prices consumers can afford.� About Commerce
