Converting our energy sources to 100% renewable, sustainable energy is a critical step in achieving the Greenhouse Gas reductions necessary to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. You can advance your community toward this goal by choosing an electricity provider that generates power from renewable sources.

In the late 1990s, the Public Utility Commission (PUC) allowed for electric suppliers to compete in the market place, and some of those providers offer 100% renewable energy. AFewSteps recommends two organizations, The Energy Co-op and Green Mountain Energy, which provide green energy (including locally sourced options) to the PECO territory. You can find more information on these and other companies by going to www.papowerswitch.com, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission’s website providing information about the multiple electricity suppliers available in Pennsylvania. Look for a plan without enrollment, cancellation, or monthly fees.
How do I sign up for green energy?
The best way to sign up is by calling the supplier on their toll-free number. Some suppliers also allow you to sign up online at their website, but there may be options not listed there. You will need to have your PECO account number (at the top left of your bill) handy in order to authorize the transfer of service, and may have to verify your identity. This is to protect you from unscrupulous operators.
