Green Pricing

NREL Highlights 2010 Utility Green Power Leaders

Green pricing is an optional utility service that allows customers an opportunity to support a greater level of utility company investment in renewable energy technologies. Participating customers pay a premium on their electric bills to cover the incremental cost of the additional renewable energy. To date, nearly 850 utilities, including investor-owned, municipal utilities, and cooperatives, offer a green pricing option. Utility green pricing sales exhibited strong growth of 15% in 2013, primarily due to sales increases in some of the largest programs.

Utility Programs by State
