Green Power Choice
With today's concerns over escalating fuel costs and increasing dependence on fossil fuels, we are constantly seeking other options.
That’s why we’re offering our members a way to combat these issues through participation in our new Green Power Choice program. A cleaner option for electricity generation, Green Power Choice offers our members the option of purchasing blocks of power generated from a renewable resource – methane gas from landfills (see illustration).
Across the nation, more than 750 cooperatives offer Green Power alternatives, and through participation in Green Power Choice, you literally help turn trash into treasure – a win-win opportunity for Baldwin EMC, our members, our community and our environment.
The Green Power Choice program gives you, our members, a simple way to support renewable energy by purchasing blocks of green power from Baldwin EMC. You can buy green power in 100-kilowatt-hour blocks (about 8 percent of a typical household's monthly use) for just $2 per month in addition to your regular kilowatt hour charge. You may purchase as many blocks as you like.
Your participation in this project proactively supports and promotes the conservation of natural resources and the development of renewable energy resources. At Baldwin EMC, we continually pursue means of preserving our environment while providing reliable, affordable energy to our members.
Buying two blocks of green power per month for a year equals recycling 480 lbs. of aluminum or 1,766 lbs. of newspaper.
