Cranston, RI - July 12, 2007 - SilentSherpa today announced the launch of EnergyRI.com , the first free web-based software platform designed to provide Rhode Island's residential and small commercial energy consumers with on-demand energy pricing, automated price alerts, and energy price quotes. EnergyRI.com is a public service provided courtesy of SilentSherpa, the premier provider of market guidance solutions to the retail energy industry. EnergyRI.com v1.0 is a mini-suite of free pricing and procurement applications which consumers can use to make informed decisions about their seasonal energy purchases rather than guestimating the market. Starting with home heating oil in Q3, EnergyRI.com will expand to other fuels such as gasoline, deisel fuel, electricity and natural gas later in 2007. Improved timing and method of purchase has been estimated to save the average oil consumer $250 - $500 per heating season. Unlike other websites that only provide static educational and/or anecdotal price information, energyRI.com's fully-integrated information-to-solicitation toolset allows the consumer to:
There are no direct or indirect fees for use of EnergyRI.com, and the program is not affiliated with any market participants...ensuring the consumer no-cost objective information. EnergyRI.com takes the consumer to market directly, intelligently and efficiently. "EnergyRI.com is the result of mounting consumer interest in learning how to buy energy more economically," said James M. Grasso, President of SilentSherpa. "While there is much talk about energy efficiency programs, there are virtually no tools available that empower the residential and small commercial consumer to make independent and informed decisions on their seasonal energy purchases which account for the majority of their annual energy spend. As the premier provider of energy pricing and procurement technology to the largest commercial, industrial, and institutional consumers in Rhode Island, SilentSherpa looks forward to providing the same professional market guidance and technology solutions to the residential and small commercial consumer."
