What People Are Saying About Electricity Competition

Competition Benefits Customers
“Competitive organized energy markets allow Safeway to save tens of millions of dollars each year.  These are savings that can be reinvested in the price we charge for our goods and services as well as key corporate initiatives like our Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Sustainability Program – all of which benefit our customers, employees, investors and the communities we serve.”

Market benefits highlighted at ACORE's Phase II Policy Forum

The American Council on Renewable Energy held its annual Phase II forum on Capitol Hill on December 3 and 4, 2008.  The COMPETE Coalition was a sponsor.  ACORE's conference provided a unique opportunity for innovators and leaders of the renewable energy community to voice their views in a forum designed to bring government and industry together on the record.
