Constellation NewEnergy, a leader in the retail energy market and supplier for MPO members in the CMP and BHE areas, is committed to providing eligible members with their lowest electricity supply prices. MPO for the first time elected to offer a 36-month price when available prices dropped to the 5-cent per kWh range. Many members took advantage of the market low to lock in fixed prices for the extended period. NewEnergy has partnered with MPO since 2000 working in support of members and the Program through it’s strong purchasing power and pricing innovations.
