BlueStar Energy Introduces Lower Electric Bills for Illinois Residential and Small Business Customers

All-electronic Be Green. Save Green.™ program eliminates paper, protects natural resources and saves money.

Illinois residential and small business customers now have a new choice when it comes to electricity providers – and the opportunity to save money on their monthly electric bills. For a limited time, BlueStar Energy Services, Inc. is offering qualified customers savings off their current electric utility rate when they enroll at www.bluestarenergy.com. BlueStar is an independent alternative retail electricity supplier and not affiliated with any utility. The company has been providing electricity and related services to industrial and commercial customers in Illinois, Maryland and Washington, D.C. since 2002.

"Electricity prices can vary, just like gasoline or oil," explained Guy Morgan, BlueStar chief executive officer. "Prices can go up or down dramatically, and getting the best price for electricity is a function of timing." Utilities often make only one electricity purchase a year for their customers, whereas BlueStar can buy electricity anytime. The good news for Illinois customers is that today's electricity prices are relatively low, and BlueStar is ready to pass on savings to Illinois consumers.

In addition to being the first alternative energy supplier to offer residential service in Illinois, BlueStar is committed to preserving natural resources by eliminating paper bills and checks. Its Be Green. Save Green.™ program is managed entirely online, with electronic contracts, bills and payment options. In addition, customers will be able to support renewable resources by selecting wind-generated electricity for a small additional cost.

Residential and small business customers in Illinois can enroll at www.bluestarenergy.com, where they will be provided details on the offer, including all terms and conditions. The enrollment process is simple and takes less than 10 minutes. Once enrolled, customers can contact customer service representatives, view bills, make payments and manage account preferences – all online.

By providing for electric choice and reducing unnecessary environmental waste, BlueStar is helping Illinois customers Be Green. Save Green.™
