CLEAN ENERGY CHOICE <br />FAQS AND APPLICATION <br />Frequently Asked Questions <br />What is renewable energy? <br />Renewable energy is generated from facilities powered by <br />wind, solar, bioenergy, water, and more. <br />Where does the renewable energy from Clean Energy Choice come from? <br />The renewable energy for the Clean Energy Choice program is supplied by Minnesota Municipal Power Agency’s <br />renewable resources. MMPA’s renewable resources include: wind, solar, and biomass. <br />For more information please visit http://www.mmpa.org/sustainable-energy/overview/ <br />How much does Clean Energy Choice cost? <br />Clean Energy Choice is an affordable way for residential electric customers to support renewable energy. For an <br />additional $3 a month, 100% of your electricity can be sourced from renewable resources. Alternatively, for $2 a <br />month, 75% of your electricity can be sourced from renewable resources, or for $1 a month, 50% of your electricity <br />can be sourced from renewable resources. <br />Does renewable energy flow directly to my home or rental unit? <br />No. The renewable energy that’s generated enters into the “electric grid,” so it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly where <br />the specific electricity supplying your home or rental unit originates. However, Renewable Energy Certificates <br />(RECs) provided as part of the Clean Energy Choice program guarantee that your renewable purchases are certified <br />renewable energy in Minnesota. <br />What are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)? <br />Every kilowatt-hour of renewable energy generated by MMPA is assigned a unique REC number to ensure that each <br />unit of renewable energy is accurately tracked. The State of Minnesota also uses RECs to track renewable energy use. <br />The Clean Energy Choice program utilizes these RECs to ensure that you are helping to support sustainable energy <br />systems for the future. <br />Am I committed to a contract term? <br />No. The subscription appears as a surcharge on your monthly electric bill. There is no minimum term commitment for <br />Clean Energy Choice.
