Akron, Ohio-based competitive green energy retailer Star Energy Partners announced on April 28 that the company has expanded its service territory to New Jersey. Residential and commercial energy consumers within the Jersey Central Power & Light (JCPL), PSEG, and Atlantic City Electric (ACE) service areas now can choose among Star's fixed-rate options.
In addition, Star pointed out, retailers that service New Jersey also can supply customers in Eastern Pennsylvania within the PECO, Met-Ed, and PPL areas.
The company said that it anticipates that Garden State customers will enjoy several benefits when purchasing energy from Star:
Star Energy Partners has operated in Ohio since 2012. The move into New Jersey utility service territories is part of Star's multi-year expansion plan in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
"We are so pleased to be opening an office in Cherry Hills to better serve our customers in New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania," said Star CEO Greg Craig. "We are excited to offer customers our exceptional pricing, price protection features, and our commitment to 100 percent green!"
Star Energy Partners' green options include energy generated from renewable sources such as wind, biomass, hydro, and solar power. For every megawatt-hour (mWh) Star customers use, the company purchases Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) to support the ongoing investment in clean, renewable energy and reduced dependence on carbon-emitting fossil fuels.
"Star Energy Partners is one of the fastest-growing retail energy providers in the United States," added Craig. "We have our customers to thank … and we are committed to making 100 percent green renewable electric power available to everyone."
