Just got the 2011 newsletter for IPL's Green Power Option!
I've been enrolled for a bit over a year now and I'm happy to report that the surcharge is only 0.10 ¢/kWh through July 2012. (It'll reset in August based on then current costs, but the general trend has been downward.) IPL says for most customers it adds like $1 to your monthly bill.
Nationally IPL ranks #1 for providing green power for the lowest cost to the customer, and that was based on last year's significantly higher rate of 0.14 ¢/kWh. It's wind generated power and Green-e Energy certified.
Together, IPL's Green Power customers accounted for 98,621,470 kWh of green power. That's like 88,000 metric tons of avoided CO2 emissions. Or the equivalent of taking more than 17,000 passenger cars off the roads for a year.
IPL has 7% of it's regular generation portfolio in renewable sources. The power purchased by Green Power Option customers is over and above that.
4,099 of us were enrolled for IPL's Green Power Option. Are you one of them too??
This was a 1.6% increase from the previous year. So although our numbers are increasing, Indianapolis could enroll a lot more!
If you're here in Indy, and haven't signed up -- think about it.
If you're not in Indianapolis, check with your electric utility.
More than 850 utilities across the US offer a green power option.
We've got to start moving off of fossil fuels for whole hosts of reasons. And this is cheap and easy, and helps green energy production get going strong here in the US!
Be part of building the future! This action is easy, inexpensive, and makes you feel really good, so start the new year off with Green Energy for your household!
