New logo illuminates Earth-friendly electricity
Article Abstract:
PP&L's new logo exemplifies an Earth-friendly electricity concept. PP&L's new logo, which has a sunburst for its Energy Plus brand, is part of the recently launched Green-e logo, which was unveiled by a coalition of environmental organizations to discourage electric providers from issuing misleading claims regarding their power sources. Energy providers that meet the Green-e standard are allowed to use the logo in their advertising. Jan Hamrin, executive director for Resource Solutions, which developed the certification program, stated that the Green-e logo gives clients the confidence of knowing that their electricity protects their health.

Midwest price surge boosts Peco
Article Abstract:
Peco Energy has posted a 25% increase in its second-quarter earnings in 1998, due to increasing power prices in the Midwest. The company's net income for the quarter reached $148 million on revenue of $12 billion. Meanwhile, Power Team, Peco's national wholesale power marketer, also increased sales to other utilities by one-third in the second quarter to 8.1 million megawatt hours, compared with 6.1 million in the same quarter in 1997. The Midwest price surge was caused by the temperature in the 90s, shutdowns of several generating plants and default by two power marketers.
