Price Reductions on JustGreen Products and Carbon Offsets with New Customer Enrollments

HOUSTON, April 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Just Energy Group Inc. (Just Energy) (OTC:JENGQ), a retail energy provider specializing in electricity and natural gas commodities and bringing energy efficient solutions and renewable energy options to customers, today announced that in recognition of Earth Day, our operating subsidiaries will add special offers to help customers reduce their impact on the environment. From April 22 through May 22, 2021, Just Energy, through our subsidiaries, is providing a $5 discount on JustGreen products for new Texas customers, and for all other new North American customers, will include one free tonne of carbon offsets redeemable through terrapass, a carbon offset and renewable energy specialist and an affiliate of Just Energy. Whether customers choose to sign up online, over the phone, or at one of our many retail locations, JustGreen can be conveniently added to any energy plan we offer.

This latest initiative is one more way Just Energy is making it easy for customers to choose eco-friendly options that will contribute to the planet's overall health.

JustGreen makes choosing sustainability easy. Customers have the flexibility to shop from all Just Energy plans, both gas and electricity, and add renewable energy to any plan they select.

The current JustGreen and one tonne carbon offset offers are designed to further drive momentum towards carbon reduction.   The environmental benefit from one tonne of carbon offsets is similar to avoiding over 2,500 miles of driving.

Using JustGreen, over 40% of customers sign-up for environmentally sustainable products.

Of all residential consumers who enrolled with Just Energy in the past year, approximately 42% added JustGreen for some or all of their energy needs. On average, these customers chose to purchase approximately 97% of their consumption as green supply, up from 86% in the previous year.

Thanks to our customers, over two million tonnes of carbon emission reductions were purchased in 2020, equivalent to taking over 430,000 cars off the road for a year. This reduction includes 2.2 million MWh of renewable energy certificates, enough renewable electricity to power over 180,000 homes for a year, and over 630,000 tonnes of carbon offsets, equivalent to planting over 10 million trees.

Terrapass makes voluntary carbon offsets and RECs accessible and affordable choices for everyone.

While Earth Day may be one day on the calendar, environmental stewardship is a daily responsibility. That's why we continue to offer ways to better serve the needs of our customers by connecting their life experiences with renewable energy and emission reduction projects that they care about, and solutions to help energy consumers large and small meet their goals on the road to a sustainable future.
