Buy Green Power
Green-e is a national certification organization for green power providers. A portion of their website is dedicated to help consumers search for providers of green power in their area. Go to their "Find Renewable Energy for Your Home" page to see where you can power-up with green power.
You can make a difference.
When you buy green power you:
- reduce our reliance on fossil fuels
- reduce air pollution and reduce water consumed for power generation
- reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming
- stimulate the region's economy by supporting innovative, clean technology
How does it work?
- You have the choice to purchase renewable energy from your local utility or from an independent company. Signing up helps offset the environmental impacts of generating electricity.
- Check the list of providers to see what products are available. Most cost just a few dollars a month and all support the development of new, clean energy sources.
- The average American home uses about 1,000 kWh a month. You can buy green power to offset a portion of your electricity. Or go all the way and offset 100% of your energy use!
