NOPEC

GEXA is NOPEC's SUPPLIER

For those residential and small business customers who want to be in NOPEC's electric program, we wanted to make certain that you are aware that GEXA Energy Ohio LLC (GEXA) is our supplier.

NOPEC and member communities are receiving numerous telephone calls because of a letter required by law that First Energy Service Company must send to all customers who wish to switch to a new electric supplier. The purpose of this letter is to confirm your switch to NOPEC's supplier, GEXA. Unfortunatley, the letter does not identify GEXA as NOPEC's supplier and many people have indicated that they are very confused by the letter.

To clarify: If you want to be in the NOPEC program, you shoild do nothing with this letter and you will be enrolled in our program. If you cal the number in the letter you will remain with First Energy and you will not be enrolled in the NOPEC program and you will not receive the NOPEC discount.

EXPLANATION REGARDING NOPEC RESIDENTIAL ELECTRIC GOVERNMENTAL AGGREGATION PRICING NOPEC wishes to explain the residential customer pricing information you may have seen in recent advertisements.

For eligible residential customers in NOPEC’s member communities (rate code RS), the base rates for electricity usage will be a fixed rate as follows:

$0.0651 per kWh in August 2009

$0.0559 per kWh for September 2009 - December 2009

$0.0584 per kWh for January 2010 – May 2010

$0.0680 per kWh for June 2010

$0.0724 per kWh for July and August 2010

$0.0621 per kWh for September 2010 until your January 2011 meter reading date

The base prices above include generation, transmission, generation related components, which are charges associated with the costs of purchased power and the cost to deliver the power through the transmission system and alternative energy resource requirement compliance costs, plus an uncollectible costs adder of $0.000539/kWh.

On average, these base prices are presently estimated to be lower than the Price to Compare* by the following percentages:

About 12% lower in August through December 2009

About 8% lower in the first six months of 2010

About 2% lower from July 2010 through your January 2011 meter reading date

*NOTE: These discounts are not cumulative. Actual discounts may vary from the stated current percentage discounts over the period of your service because your Price to Compare may change over these periods based on your usage, seasonality or any changes made by the utility to its calculations.

Also, due to the tiered structure of the utility’s residential electric generation rate for the months of June, July or August, your actual savings during those months will be lower for customers whose monthly usage during any of those months is below 950 kWh.

Certain residential customers (for example customers eligible for the residential non-standard credit provision under rider EDR) are not eligible for NOPEC’s program. Those customers should evaluate other offers before making a decision to change suppliers.
