Alternative Electricity Through NC Greenpower

If you want to take advantage of using cleaner energy every month, you'll want to check out NC Greenpower

For as little as $4 per month, customers can opt to use cleaner, greener energy sources like:

Solar - completely renewable energy straight from the sun.

Water - generates electricity without using up fossil fuels or polluting.

Wind - harnessing the energy of the wind is clean and green.

Biomass - we don't hear about this one as often, but methane gas can be harnessed for energy

So why do these types of energy cost extra? 

These types of energy are often more expensive, and currently are produced on a smaller scale.  With customer opting directly for alternative sources of electricity, these volunteer premiums are used to offset the higher costs of developing and producing renewable energy.  NC Greenpower is administrated by the Advanced Energy Corporation (AEC), an independent, non-profit organization with a 22-year history of working with renewable energy, energy efficiency and electric utilities.
