---------- Forwarded message ---------From: Biemer, Kelly S:(Constellation) Date: Mon, Dec 5, 2016 at 2:46 PM Subject: RE: FW: [EXTERNAL] Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting: Request for Comment To: David Sherwood Hi David, For competitive reasons we’re not able to provide proprietary details on how we arrive at pricing. The following is a statement from Constellation for use. Please contact MPO directly with additional questions about its energy program. “MPO’s energy program is voluntary, and members are under no obligation to participate. The program gives members the option to shop for electricity supply and energy services from an endorsed supplier that has been selected through a competitive RFP process. As one of the nation’s largest retail energy suppliers, Constellation is proud to serve as the endorsed energy supplier for MPO. Our stability, backed by our parent company’s fleet of topperforming power plants and more than a decade of experience helping customers to manage price volatility risk, means that we can offer customers consistent value, highquality service, and a variety of contract options to best meet their energy needs. Shopping for energy supply provides customers the flexibility to choose a supplier based on rate, fixed or flexible pricing, contract terms, and quality of customer service. Because prices vary considerably based on wholesale costs, sometimes the competitive supplier may have a lower rate than the utility’s standard offer. Other times, the utility may have a lower rate. We do our best to walk customers through all the options available to them.” Thanks, Kelly Biemer Manager, External Communications 100 Constellation Way Baltimore, MD 21202 Media Hotline: 410-470-9700 kelly.biemer@constellation.com www.constellation.com
