Dominion North Carolina Power Customers Can Now Sign Up
For NC GreenPower
Since July 28, 2003, Dominion North Carolina Power customers
have been able to participate in the NC GreenPower program. The program is designed
to protect our environment. Participating consumers contribute to the development
and production of cleaner power produced from renewable sources, such as solar,
wind, small hydro and biomass materials. "Green power" is a cleaner energy alternative
to traditional fossil fuels.
NC GreenPower is an easy and effective way to protect the environment.
The program increases the availability and access to renewable energy sources. It is
designed to help improve the quality of the environment by allowing North Carolinians to
choose cleaner, "greener" energy solutions. By calling Dominion and telling us to sign you
up for this independent, non-profit program, you will add renewable energy to North Carolina's
power supply.
NC GreenPower offers two contribution options:
The first option
is designed primarily for residential or small commercial customers. It features
energy produced from renewable sources, such as wind, solar or methane sources.
Customers can purchase one or more blocks of clean energy for North Carolina.
You can make a contribution of $4.00 per block (100 kilowatt-hours of energy).
The second option
is designed for large-volume users, but it can be purchased by any customer
and features energy produced from a wider range of sources, such as biomass
and small hydro, at a price comparable with out-of-state green energy tags.
Customers pay $2.50 per block of 100 kilowatt-hours but must buy a minimum
of 100 blocks.
