One of the easiest ways to dramatically reduce your household’s carbon footprint is to switch from getting your electricity from coal-burning power plants to getting your electricity from local wind farms. A little more than half of PECO’s traditional electrical service comes from coal-burning plants. Another 30% comes from nuclear power plants.
With the deregulation of electric utilities in Pennyslvania, you now have great options for local 100% green power. Three electricity providers stand out because they were the pioneers of green energy in Pennsylvania and source all their energy from within the state. Their electricity rates are fairly competitive with PECO’S rates (which change quarterly), generally representing a premium in the range of 10-25%.
For details about how to make the switch, see the aFewSteps Green Energy Initiative. Two good choices for green energy providers are:
The Energy Cooperative
The first member-owned Philadelphia based non-profit to offer Pennsylvania green power. To find out more details and enroll, go to www.theenergy.coop
Green Mountain Energy
This company built the first large commercial wind farm in Pennyslvania
(Somerset, PA). To find out more details and enroll, go to www.greenmountain.com
