BlueStar Energy Offers IL Residents Alternative To ComEd's Energy Tax Proposal
Illinois consumers now have an alternative to ComEd's proposed energy tax by switching to BlueStar Energy as their electricity provider to save on energy costs
CHICAGO, May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- BlueStar Energy Solutions, an energy solutions company based in Chicago, today announced that it is offering Illinois residential consumers the ability to switch electricity suppliers to their residential service to avoid a proposed ComEd energy tax proposal.
BlueStar Energy is offering consumers a 12-month contract at an estimated 8% discount off ComEd's current rate. Consumers will have the choice to go green for less too. BlueStar will offer 100% Renewable American Energy at an estimated 3% discount off ComEd's current rate.
As was widely reported yesterday, ComEd is in active negotiations with government officials to finance a proposed energy tax in exchange for captive customers paying artificially inflated rates.
"BlueStar Energy is proud to offer Illinois residents a choice of electric providers. We find ComEd's recent proposal outrageous and believe that what they really need is a healthy dose of competition," said Guy Morgan, CEO and founder of BlueStar Energy. "We share Illinois residents' concern about ComEd's proposed energy tax and that is why we're offering an alternative that saves customers money and gives them a choice. Our ability to offer consumers 100% green products at prices lower than ComEd's rate for traditional power suggests ComEd's rates are already too high. In times like these when every dollar matters to working families, ComEd's offer to the people of this state is disingenuous and self-serving. It's this kind of 'indecent' proposal that demonstrates exactly why customers need a choice. Let ComEd earn their customers in the marketplace and not try to steal them in the backrooms of Springfield."
For decades, Illinois residents have had no choice in their electric supplier. Until now. "A cornerstone of the American ideology is the ability to choose," said Morgan. "When residents are looking to lessen their impact on the environment or save money on their electricity bill, BlueStar Energy will be there as partner."
BlueStar is entering into the Illinois residential marketplace with a groundbreaking new approach: offering customers not only a choice in who provides their electricity -- but also a choice in the type of power they wish to use. "Traditional energy or Renewable American Energy, customers will save with us either way," said Morgan.
BlueStar is no newcomer to Illinois. Founded in 2002, the Chicago-based company has served thousands of commercial customers in Illinois for years and was recognized by Crain's Chicago Business as the fastest-growing company in Chicago for 2009. The company also appears regularly on Crain's Largest Privately-Held Companies list.
Making the switch to BlueStar Energy is an easy choice and an effortless process done completely on-line -- there is no service interruption or need for someone to come to a customers home.
