Q |
Exactly what am I buying? |
A |
National WindCurrent is a renewable energy certificate product. For every unit of electricity generated from renewable sources, an equivalent amount of renewable certificates, or Green Tags, is produced. Your purchase of a National WindCurrent certificate supports new renewable electricity generation, which helps offset the environmental effects of burning coal, gas and other fossil fuels in the US. Also, your purchase helps to grow the market for renewable electricity. Important: You will continue to receive a separate electricity bill from your utility company. |

Q |
How much of the product am I buying? |
A |
This product matches the amount of your monthly electricity usage that you specify.
As a residential customer, you can subscribe at any of these monthly levels:
400 KWh, 800 KWh or 1200 KWh. Any of these options cost 2.5 cents per kWh. |

Q |
What sources do you use? |
A |
We have been using wind turbines in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wyoming and Iowa.
These are “New” generators: "New" indicates renewable generators that first started operating on or after January 1, 1999. These facilities help to change the overall energy mix toward more renewables and less burning of fossil fuels.
For comparison, the current average mix of energy sources supplying the US includes: Coal (52%), Nuclear (18%), Oil (2%), Natural Gas (8%), Large Hydroelectric (10%), Other Fossil (8%), and Renewables (2%). (from US EPA E-GRID)
