Power Providers Offer Renewable Electricity Options
Wyoming Public Media | January 04, 2019
Energy companies in Wyoming are offering programs for customers to switch to renewable energy. Customers can pay between $5 and $15 per month to make their homes completely carbon neutral. Partial plans are also offered. The companies use these additional fees to buy renewable energy certificates (RECs). RECs do not reflect the number of fossil fuels the company actually uses but buys the claim of green energy from wind or solar energy producer. This makes the energy carbon neutral by supporting renewable energy development.
