| [1] In 2006 the single largest provider of green pricing services in the country discontinued service in two States. More than 297,600 customers in green pricing programs reverted to standard service tariffs, predominantly in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Notes: • Green Pricing programs allow electricity customers the opportunity to purchase electricity generated from renewable resources, thereby encouraging renewable energy development. Renewable resources include solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric power, and wood. • Net Metering arrangements permit facilities and residences (using a meter that reads inflows and outflows of electricity) to sell any excess power generated over its load requirement back to the distributor to offset consumption.
