Additional Information and Required Notes:
Notes:

Power Sources—Maine law requires retail electricity providers to periodically provide information to their customers on the
mix of power sources used by the provider to serve their Maine customers’ load.
Emissions—Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is released when certain fuels are burned. It is considered a greenhouse gas and a major
contributor to global warming. Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) form when certain fuels are burned at high temperatures. They are
considered contributors to acid rain and ground-level ozone (or smog). Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is formed when fuels containing
sulfur are burned. Major health effects associated with SO 2 include asthma, respiratory illness and aggravation of existing
cardiovascular disease. The production of electricity can produce other harmful emissions and have other environmental
impacts. Environmental impacts differ among individual power plants.

Customers who choose the "Pure Green" product will not have electricity from a specific generation facility delivered directly to their meter, but they
are able to support generators of renewable energy that provide electricity to the New England power grid in an amount equal to the applicable
percentage of the customer's usage. Renewable resource availability varies hour to hour and from season to season, as does our customers' use. We will
rely on system power from the grid to serve our customers' minute by minute consumption but will cause enough of the applicable Electricity Maine
electricity blend to be delivered to the power grid to match our customers' actual electricity purchases. By purchasing Green renewable energy
certificates from specific facilities we ensure that electricity from promised renewable resources equal to your annual electricity usage for which you've
paid is delivered to the New England grid.
