Clean energy: Small decision. Big impact.
Clean Energy is More Available and
Cost-Effective Than Ever
Technological advances and added capacity are making eco-friendly energy more available and cost-effective. Energy from renewable sources, as well as clean-burning natural gas, are contributing a larger percentage of the nation’s total electricity than ever before. When you choose clean energy, you are contributing to a more livable planet.
Renewable Energy is the Fastest-Growing Energy Source
An abundance of solar, water, wind and geothermal energy resources, as well as continued investment in research and development, are making renewable energy more accessible and cost-effective than ever. Consumers and business owners are reshaping energy consumption and making a positive economic and environmental impact, one choice at a time.
When you choose Green Choice Energy, you’re contributing to a healthier, more sustainable future with an environmentally conscious partner who enables you to offset the use of coal and petroleum products with clean energy from renewable resources and carbon-neutral natural gas. This means that when you choose us, you can be assured that your energy consumption is not releasing more carbon dioxide into your community.
Wind Power
Technological advances that allow turbines to reach stronger, steadier winds are driving down costs.

Clean Burning Natural Gas
Natural gas is a relatively clean burning fossil fuel, producing fewer emissions of nearly all types of air pollutants than burning coal or petroleum products to produce an equal amount of energy. In addition to Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), Green Choice Energy uses carbon offsets to ensure that 100% of every customer’s energy is provided by renewable resources.

The Future of Renewable Energy
. 
Renewable energy is here to stay. Although more than a third of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. result from the burning of fossil fuels for electricity usage in buildings and homes today1, the pace of renewable power capacity additions is expected to increase significantly over the next several years. Solar energy leads the way, followed by onshore wind, hydropower, offshore wind and bioenergy.2 In fact, the U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects electricity generation from renewable sources such as wind and solar will surpass nuclear and coal by 2021 and surpass natural gas in 2045.
