Buy Green Power. Renewable power portfolios are now the law in the majority of U.S. states. These require suppliers to buy specified minimum quantities of renewable power. Each state has its own unique definition for what types of generation qualify as renewable. Some also have “solar carve-outs” to incentivize solar power in particular. On average, deregulated states will require their suppliers to buy sixteen percent of their generation from green sources by 2019. The U.S. Department of Energy has more information available here.
Since green power generally costs more to produce, those costs get passed on from the supplier to the customer. American PowerNet will manage your green power purchases, ensuring you remain in compliance with your state’s laws. As importantly, we will also ensure you’re getting green power at the most affordable price. With our fee structure, there are no hidden margins. That means you will not pay a “green power premium” on top of the added generation cost. We can help you “go green,” and do it for the lowest possible cost!
