RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES

Connecting to Renewable Resources for Energy

You Can Buy Green Energy Today and for less money than you are currently paying! The more we support these regional renewable resources below, the cheaper they will become for EVERYONE.

The power distribution company you are already using may offer green energy, or you can switch to a power supply company that does. You will be provided with electricity generated at large wind farms, solar arrays or other production facility.

  • Clean Currents is currently offering better prices for wind power than PEPCO's prices for regular service. Compare with PEPCO100% wind service.
  • Washington Gas Energy Services offers 50% (about $9 more than an average utility bill) or 100% (about $19 more) windpower generation for you electricity.

If green power is not available in your area, you can offset your carbon emissions by purchasing Renewable Energy Offsets.
