With EcoChoice, you don’t have to own a home. No solar panel installation required. No property impact. No upfront costs. You can get clean, green energy and help protect the environment by simply enrolling in EcoChoice.

How It Works
Allocate from 50% to 100% of your electricity to renewable energy when you sign up for EcoChoice®. The amount you pay depends on the % amount of renewable energy you select for each month. For example, a residential customer choosing 100% renewable energy, using an average of 500 kWh a month, saves about $2.50 on their monthly bill. When you enroll, we buy renewable energy from generating facilities built specifically for EcoChoice. Find out where our solar energy comes from with our EcoChoice Interim Pool of Energy Sources.
