My name is Charlotte Fagerberg and I am a fellow resident of Charlestown. I work for Glacial Energy, a licensed third party energy supplier.

Glacial Energy is committed to delivering the best combination of price and service to commercial entities of all scopes and sizes resulting in unmatched value for cost conscious energy consumers.

Glacial energy is not a BROKER so you will not have to deal with a middle man and businesses are not required to sign long term contracts in order to recognize significant energy savings.

Contact me today to schedule a consultation to discuss how Glacial Energy can decrease your companies energy cost.

Glacial Energy New England Glacial Energy of New England is a licensed Retail Electricity Supplier operating in the New England states of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire providing reliable energy coupled with experienced customer care at the best price. Glacial Energy buys its energy from providers that offer the best pricing, terms and conditions then we pass those benefits on to our customers. New England Retail Electricity Market Before deregulation, businesses received all aspects of their electric service from one utility company that generated the electricity, transmitted, and distributed it directly to businesses. The utility not only sold but serviced your electricity account. New England's market is now de-regulated, allowing businesses to choose the retail electric supplier that best fits their requirements of cost and benefit. What are my power supply options? Electricity is provided to you through a three-step process: generation, transmission, and distribution. New England's market gives you the ability to choose your electricity supplier. Electricity is still delivered over the same poles and wires and is not subject to choice. You now have the opportunity to shop for a new supplier based on your needs and preferences. You can compare prices and enjoy greater savings and service. Contact me today to schedule a consultation.
