"With increased interest among consumers in purchasing clean energy for their homes or businesses, we are expanding our customer service operations center to better serve them.  Over the next 18 months, we plan to add up to 50 new jobs in suburban Pittsburgh to keep up with the anticipated demand."

CleanChoice Energy operates in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois, Delaware, New York, Massachusetts and the District of Columbia. The company is Green-e Certified, which means that its renewable energy plan meets independent environmental and consumer protection standards, including an annual audit.
