PPL: Businesses Can Benefit From Shopping For Electricity Supply

Need a quick refresher on competitive electricity markets and how PPL EnergyPlus can help industrial and commercial businesses in eastern and central Pennsylvania save on their energy bills?

All of that information — and more — is neatly packaged on a new Web site developed by PPL EnergyPlus, the energy marketing and trading subsidiary of PPL Corporation, which has announced that it is competing as an alternative energy supplier in the area served by PPL Electric Utilities.

Visit www.pplenergyplus.com/switch to discover the many benefits of shopping for energy supply and the options available to businesses in open, competitive electricity markets.

“We’re providing customized prices and options specifically tailored to meet the business needs of customers,” said Gene Alessandrini, senior vice president of marketing for PPL EnergyPlus. “That’s the promise of customer choice — the freedom to choose and shop for an electricity supplier to find the best prices and services the market can offer.”

Now is the time to shop for electricity supply, he said, because the rate caps that have limited choices are expiring, and the price of electricity in the already-competitive wholesale market has dropped from last year’s highs.

“PPL EnergyPlus is making offers as businesses realize the tangible benefits available to them,” Alessandrini said. “We can give customers a variety of options based on their unique needs. We can bring to the table other valuable energy services such as efficiency upgrades, demand management, revenue generating demand response programs and renewable energy to help customers manage their total energy costs.

“This new website and our retail business personnel will help make this process of choosing an electricity supplier easier,” he said.

PPL EnergyPlus, which supplies electricity, natural gas and renewable energy, has the ability to use its expertise to work directly with customers, understand how they use energy and prepare customized offers that meet their unique needs, he added.

“I encourage businesses to visit our new website and find out how the competitive electricity market provides more choices, innovative services and opportunities to save both energy and money,” Alessandrini said.
