FORT LAUDERDALE -- September 19, 2006 -- Alberto Daire, Liberty Power President, Chief Operating Office and co-founder will be a keynote speaker at the Christensen Associates Energy Consultants (CAEnergy Consultants) Seminar on Retail Pricing, to be held on Wednesday in Orlando, Florida. The seminar focus will be "Successful Retail Products from the People Who Made Them So," a dialogue discussing the different product offerings from utilities and retailers to consumers.

Daire, along with co-founders David Hernandez and Eliezer Hernandez, launched Liberty Power in 2001, to offer small- and medium-sized businesses the kind of value in the purchase of electricity that is typically afforded only to large companies. In just 5 years, they have grown the company from four to fifty employees, and in 2005, had over $100 million in revenues. Liberty Power, the only national, minority-owned retail electric provider in the United States, has been featured in a number of media articles, including Hispanic Trends magazine, Hispanic Business magazine, the Miami Herald, and the Providence Journal, as well as showcased on NBC's Hispanics Today, a nationally broadcast television program.
Additionally, Liberty Power is leading a national campaign to promote the value of choice for electric retail service customers. Currently, 20 states and the District of Columbia allow retail electric competition, giving their citizens the right to select their electricity provider. The remaining states still maintain a monopolistic structure that prohibits customer choice.
"The telecom and airline industries demonstrate that deregulation - when done right - brings lower prices and better service to consumers. We've seen the same effect in states like Texas and New York, where, unlike Florida, consumers can choose among suppliers of energy. We believe that when markets are fully open to competition, it is consumers who ultimately win, and there's no reason why Floridians shouldn't be afforded the same freedoms," said Daire.
Liberty Power is the only national, minority-owned retail electric provider in the United States, and is certified and licensed by the Public Utilities Commission of Texas, the New York State Public Service Commission, the Maryland Public
Service Commission, the District of Columbia Public Service Commission and by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The company is also GSA, SBA, and SBA-8A certified. Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Liberty Power supplies electricity to over 20,000 small- and medium-sized businesses in Texas, New York, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Liberty Power also provides energy to numerous Fortune 500 companies, as well as to various governmental agencies, such as the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, Linens 'n Things, New York Life and Wal-Mart.
A privately held company, Liberty Power is one of the fastest growing independent retail electric providers in the country, surpassing $100 million in revenues in 2005 after just four years of operations. Liberty Power CEO David Hernandez was named Hispanic Entrepreneur of the Year by Hispanic Business magazine in 2005, and was recently named Businessman of the Year for Region VI by the US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
