Clean energy is important to all of us. In fact, the reliable energy you already receive is 25 percent renewable and 55 percent carbon-free. However, some customers want more. That's why we're proud to offer Renewable*Connect®. With no equipment necessary and access to a blend of wind and solar, Renewable*Connect is an affordable way to benefit from renewable energy.
The Renewable*Connect program is now fully subscribed. We are accepting applications for the program waitlist, which will be used in the event program capacity becomes available.
The average customer can power their home with 100 percent clean energy from Renewable Connect for just $5 - $7 additional per month. This cost is in addition to your current electric charges. For complete pricing information, refer to our Frequently Asked Questions.
