Green Rates

Good For The Environment and For You

The Green Rate gives you the opportunity to purchase renewable energy. If you can’t install solar panels on your roof, this might be a good alternative solution for you to help support the environment. By participating in the Green Rate, you help support local solar power, reduce your greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity, and help provide clean energy for our future.

To support this effort, we purchase additional renewable energy to meet the needs of Green Rate participants from solar renewable developers within our service territory. This is a voluntary program available to both Residential and Business energy users who receive power generation, metering, and related services from us, i.e. “bundled service”.

You can sign up online or by calling 1-866-701-7867.
