How do Payments for Renewable Energy Make a Difference?

By choosing renewable electricity - whether it be from an alternative supplier, your current utility, or through certificate offerings, you are ensuring that renewable energy generation and its benefits are being delivered to the New England power grid on your behalf.  This reduces the need for dirtier generators to operate, therefore creating a cleaner, healthier energy mix overall.  Your choice also sends a strong market signal that helps promote the development of new renewable energy generation in our region.

While creating a cleaner energy mix is huge task, it will only come about as a result of many consumers making the individual choice to support a better alternative.  Because the choices are available, not choosing green is the same as choosing brown.  Use your power to choose.
