CON EDISON SOLUTIONS MARKS A DECADE OF ENERGY LEADERSHIP

ENERGY SERVICES PROVIDER DEMONSTRATES 'THE POWER OF TEN': TEN YEARS AND 10,000 'GREEN POWER' CUSTOMERS

White Plains, NY - September 24, 2007ConEdison Solutions today celebrates its tenth anniversary, making it one of the country’s longest-operating and most successful energy service companies. 
 
A vibrant competitor in the American energy marketplace, ConEdison Solutions today provides energy services across the country, sells electricity to over 200,000 customers in ten states and serves more than 10,000 renewable energy supply customers among other achievements.
 
“After ten years of unparalleled service to energy users, ConEdison Solutions is proud to stand as one of America’s most dependable and respected energy services companies,” said Jorge Lopez, President and CEO of ConEdison Solutions.  “We have succeeded by delivering value and expert energy solutions to our customers.”
 
“The energy services sector has experienced great changes and tremendous upheaval over the past ten years,” Mr. Lopez said.  “Few industry sectors have been buffeted by more challenges, and many competitors are no longer in the business.  But because of our financial strength and our energy market expertise, ConEdison Solutions remains a sturdy and committed market leader.”
 
The nationally recognized energy services company -- one of the few accredited as an Energy Services Provider by the National Association of Energy Service Companies -- offers competitively priced electricity to commodity customers in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maryland, Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania and also Washington, D.C.  Offerings include both fixed-price and indexed, or variable, price structures.
 
When the firm was launched, it offered energy choice to customers in two utility service areas.  Today, ConEdison Solutions provides electricity supply in service territories representing more than 30 utilities and provides energy services on a national basis.

In addition, the company is also a national leader in the delivery of environmentally friendly, renewable “EarthPower” to more than 10,000 customers in New York and Massachusetts.  ConEdison Solutions' renewable supplies derive primarily from wind and “run-of-the-river” hydropower sources.

ConEdison Solutions -- a subsidiary of Consolidated Edison, Inc., one of America's largest and longest-operating investor-owned energy holding companies -- also offers energy and energy management solutions to commercial and industrial customers.  Prominent customers include the Simon Property Group, the New York Marriott Marquis hotel, Invensys Process Systems, and many of the nation’s largest and leading national retail providers. 

“America’s energy users want to be insulated from the volatility of the energy market,” said Mr. Lopez.  “They want energy supply options tailored to their operation, they want to use energy efficiently, and they want a dependable partner to optimize their energy choices.  Our ability to meet these needs for our customers and their trust in us has allowed us to thrive through ten years in this highly competitive marketplace.”
