Did you know that burning carbon to produce electricity creates more pollution than all the cars and trucks on the road? In 1999 the Supply of Energy was deregulated in the State of New Jersey allowing consumers to choose where they buy their energy. Until recently there were few third party suppliers offering residential customers energy, but recently that has changed. Under deregulation, delivery and service of the electricity is still provided by your local utility (PSE&G). Third party suppliers are licensed by State agencies to supply electricity. The local utility, like PSEG, support the NJ Choice Program allowing you to choose your energy supplier, while continuing to provide safe delivery and service.
A company called Viridian Energy has recently emerged as the premier third party energy supplier throughout NJ, Ct, Pa and Maryland. Viridian supplies greener electricity produced from renewable and clean sources.
Viridian Energy offers two products:
1) 20% Renewable Energy product (wind and solar)
2) 100% E-Certified Renewable Energy product (100% wind).
Both products are offered at a floating price per kilowatt that is less than your current Utility. Choosing to have an electricity supplier like Viridian allows you to save money and help to save the environment, by reducing your carbon footprint. By purchasing your electricity through Viridian, you will support currently available renewable resources as well as aid in the development of new renewable resources in the U.S.
The HFA has become an "Associate of Viridian Energy". That means that the HFA will earn money for each household that signs up to have their energy supplied by Viridian. 100% of the money that the HFA earns will support the PROJECT PLAY initiative, building a park that uses environmentally-sustainable building materials. What better way to partner our GREEN efforts with the GREEN efforts of Viridian and save money!
Making the switch is simple! There are no credit checks and no deposits. Once your application is approved you will receive a letter from PSE&G confirming that you have chosen Viridian as your third party supplier PSE&G will continue to deliver your power from the same grid directly to your home and continue to service your home or business . You will receive one bill from PSE&G. Viridian will be listed as the supplier on that bill and you make payments as you always have to PSE&G.
Join Project Play in their efforts to LIVE GREEN by spreading the word to switch to Viridian. Together we can positively impact the environment.
