Lebanon Valley Chamber of Commerce Chooses PP&L EnergyPlus — Up to 1,000 Area Businesses Have the Opportunity to Save Money

The Lebanon Valley Chamber of Commerce has joined with the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry in choosing PP&L EnergyPlus as the preferred supplier for its 1,000 member businesses.

"Businesses in the Lebanon Valley want an electricity provider that offers competitive rates, great service and flexibility," said Stephan Vegoe, president of the Lebanon Valley Chamber. "But, they also want to do business with a company that will be part of the community. That's why our partnership with PP&L EnergyPlus is so attractive to our chamber.

"We have created a partnership that will benefit our organization, our members and the community," Vegoe said.

Eligible businesses have the opportunity to get attractive pricing on their electricity purchases through the collective buying power of the Lebanon Valley Chamber and the Pennsylvania Chamber.

The PP&L EnergyPlus POWERFUL PartnersTM program, designed especially for business groups and associations, simplifies electric choice for participating businesses.

A price guarantee and an annual rebate on electricity purchases are highlights of the program, which will be offered to member businesses by the Lebanon Valley Chamber.

As an added benefit, businesses that sign up will be dealing with PP&L EnergyPlus, a company that understands their needs. PP&L, Inc., has been offering attractive energy prices in eastern and central Pennsylvania for nearly 80 years. As a subsidiary of PP&L, Inc., PP&L EnergyPlus is branching out to make lower-priced energy and superior service available throughout the state.

"We're pleased that the Lebanon Valley Chamber has joined a growing list of business-buying groups offering the benefits of PP&L EnergyPlus to their members," said Larry De Simone, PP&L EnergyPlus president. "PP&L, Inc. has a long history of giving businesses the prices and service they need to be competitive, and PP&L EnergyPlus is pleased to carry forward that tradition."

Groups and associations representing more than 10,000 Pennsylvania businesses have chosen PP&L EnergyPlus as the company that provides the most benefits for their members. Among them: the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry; chambers of commerce in Reading, York, Hazleton, Pottsville, Erie, Pocono Mountains, Lancaster and Harrisburg; associations representing hundreds of school districts, colleges and universities; and numerous government agencies.

PP&L EnergyPlus is not the same company as PP&L, Inc., the electric distribution company. PP&L EnergyPlus prices are not regulated by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. You do not have to buy electricity or other products from PP&L EnergyPlus to receive the same quality service from PP&L, Inc.
