More Alabama Power Customers Signing Up To Support Renewable Energy

By Michael Sznajderman

Alabama Power customers are choosing to support renewable energy through a new program that makes it easy and affordable.

Greener State, by Alabama Power, offers customers an economical way to support renewable energy by choosing among three pre-built plans, or creating their own custom plan. The program helps customers power their homes with renewable energy through the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates, or RECs. Under the program, customers who purchase RECs can match their electrical usage with renewable energy and claim ownership of a specific amount of renewable energy going to the Alabama Power grid.

The three pre-built plans — named Leaf, Tree and Forest — match customers with different amounts and types of renewable energy. For example, customers who enroll in the Forest plan for $15 a month get 12,000 kWh of renewable energy generated from Alabama sources – an amount roughly equal to the energy used by a typical Alabama home. Customers also have the option to customize their plan, purchasing enough renewable energy to match their individual usage or more. The cost of the plan is in addition to a customer’s normal power bill.The program is also available to commercial customers and small businesses.
