FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Liberty Power, one of the nation's fastest-growing and largest independent energy retailers, today announced it has launched a residential program in New Jersey. The company now has active residential offers in the utility territories of Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G), Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L), and Atlantic City Electric (ACE). As a result of the launch, Liberty Power is expanding the availability of its offers to an additional 3 million residents.

The retail electricity supplier first began serving non-residential customers in New Jersey in the spring of 2007. Liberty Power's residential expansion into New Jersey comes on the heels of launching residential programs in Maryland and Connecticut. Liberty Power now has residential retail electric programs in seven states: New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Connecticut, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Texas.

"We have been providing New Jersey business owners low-cost electricity and exceptional customer service for more than five years. We are thrilled to now be able to offer similar products and services to residents of the Garden State," stated David Hernandez, co-founder and CEO.

At the time of launch, the company will offer its Home Independence Plan, a fixed-rate product with terms of 12 and 24-months. Residents who choose Liberty Power as their retail electricity supplier will continue to receive one bill and the same level of service from their local utility, which will still deliver the electricity, maintain the pole and wires, and respond to power outages. There is no sign-up fee, and there will be no interruption in electricity service. Liberty Power also offers competitive rates for commercial accounts. For additional information, New Jersey residents and businesses may call 855-776-9377 to sign up by phone.
