Offset your carbon footprint

Looking for a low-cost way to help protect the environment and support alternative energy? Then our Renewable Energy Certificates may be the program for you.

For less than the cost of a vanilla latté, you can purchase enough RECs to offset the electricity used in a typical home. It's a smart decision today and an investment for our future.

The cost to sponsor renewable energy technologies is $0.34 for a 100 kilowatt-hour (kWh) block of renewable energy certificates. And, consider the following:

  • 1,000 kWh (10 blocks) per month: enough to offset up to 100 percent of the electricity used in a large house. Price per month: $3.40.
  • 600 kWh (six blocks) per month: enough to offset up to 100 percent of the electricity used in an average house. Price per month: $2.04.
  • 400 kWh (four blocks) per month: enough to offset up to 100 percent of the electricity used in a small house or apartment. Price per month: $1.36.
