CONEDISON SOLUTIONS PROVIDES 100 PERCENT 'GREEN POWER' TO PORT JERVIS MARKETING FIRM

NIKI JONES AGENCY 'GOES GREEN' BY PURCHASING RENEWABLE WIND AND HYDRO POWER

White Plains, NY – August 3, 2009: ConEdison Solutions, a leading energy services company based in White Plains, New York, today announced that the Niki Jones Agency of Port Jervis, NY is purchasing renewable Green Power for 100 percent of its energy supply.

The Niki Jones Agency -- a full-service, public relations, marketing and advertising agency -- joins ConEdison Solutions' portfolio of more than 18,000 "Green Power" customers in the Northeast.

"By purchasing renewable green power, the Niki Jones Agency is setting an excellent example for businesses of all sizes,” said Jorge J. Lopez, President and CEO of ConEdison Solutions. “We applaud the agency's commitment to renewable energy and its willingness to serve as a clean energy role model. More and more, entrepreneurs like the Niki Jones Agency are taking action to help improve the environment."

"The Niki Jones Agency wants to do our fair share to promote environmental preservation, and reduce our dependency on foreign oil through the purchase of renewable energy," said Niki J. Jones, CEO of the Niki Jones Agency. "The process of sourcing 'Green Power' from ConEdison Solutions requires little more than a phone call to make the switch. Going green is easy, and we encourage the business community at large to follow our example. We actively seek available green marketing options for our clients; to enable their businesses to become more sustainable in today’s challenging marketplace, these choices often lower our clients advertising and printing costs,” said Jones."

"Green Power" is clean, renewable energy generated in New York State and supplied by regional wind farms such as the 30-megawatt wind farm in Fenner, NY, currently the largest in New York. The "Green Power" option is also comprised of renewable energy generated by small, environmentally-friendly hydro facilities.

The ConEdison Solutions "Green Power" combination of wind and hydro power is available to small businesses and residential users. ConEdison Solutions partners with Community Energy Inc., a leading marketer of pollution-free, wind-generated electricity, to bring "Green Power" to the greater New York City area. Wind power used by ConEdison Solutions’ larger commercial users consists entirely of NewWind Energy®.

Wind -- the world's fastest-growing renewable energy source -- is becoming increasingly cost-competitive with conventional energy resources. The small cost premium for using pollution-free electricity provides benefits to the environment and also expands domestic renewable energy production.
