This Alert is Applicable to Industrial and Commercial Energy Consumers

Our Recommendation:

*Submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to your utility on 9 am, April 16, 2010

*If accepted by the utility, the NOI provides a cost-free placeholder

*You will have no less than 60 days before you must submit a direct access service request (DASR)

*During this period, you can evaluate whether direct access (DA) is cost-effective in light of such factors as exit fees and market pricing
