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. Green power is available in 100-kilowatt hour blocks. Your first five blocks will cost $2 each, and it’s just 15 cents for every block after that. These charges are in addition to your regular kilowatt-hour charge.
An example of the pricing is as follows:
| 100 kilowatt-hours (1 block) = $2.00 |
| 300 kilowatt-hours (3 blocks) = $6.00 |
| 500 kilowatt-hours (5 blocks) = $10.00 |
| 1000 kilowatt-hours (10 blocks) = $10.75 |
| 1500 kilowatt-hours (15 blocks) = $11.50 |
| 2000 kilowatt-hours (20 blocks) = $12.25 |
| 2500 kilowatt-hours (25 blocks) = $13.00 |
| 3000 kilowatt-hours (30 blocks) = $13.75 |
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.
