Steve then introduced Ed Toppi, Vice President, Constellation NewEnergy, to lead our discussion on electric supplier choices now being made by most businesses in Maryland. Ed focused on purchasing electricity and managing electricity supply and defined the deregulated market. The benefits of competition and the composition of the price of electricity were explained. The largest component of price is the cost of fuel and conversion (70%). Other components are certain defined premiums, ancillary services and margins. Your search should be for the lowest but right price. Risk tolerance will relate to your price and terms. Managing your costs requires diligence. An electronic copy of Ed’s presentation requested from Ed at ed.toppi@constellation.com. Marty Lurz gave a public safety report and distributed information on the Baltimore County Police Community Relations Council. The Council meets monthly and the membership cost is minimal.
