With a green energy plan, you can support sustainability without changing your lifestyle or daily habits. These plans work through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs); for every megawatt-hour of electricity you consume, your provider purchases an equivalent REC from a renewable source, like wind or solar. This ensures that your energy usage directly incentivizes and funds green power production on the grid, making it easier than ever to shrink your carbon footprint!

How Your Power Can Go Clean
Here are some common types of renewable energy used in electricity plans and how they generate power:
Solar Energy
Solar energy is one of the fastest-growing renewable sources in the U.S., converting sunlight into electricity for homes and businesses. Solar panels act as semiconductors with positive and negative layers. When sunlight hits the panel, it excites electrons, creating a flow of electricity. A solar inverter then converts this direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) suitable for household use.
Top solar-producing states include California, Texas, and Florida. Solar energy allows homeowners to support clean energy without changing their daily electricity habits.
Wind Energy
Wind power has steadily increased over the past decades. In 2022, wind turbines accounted for over 10% of U.S. utility-scale electricity generation. Texas, Iowa, and Oklahoma lead the nation in wind energy production.
Here’s how it works: Wind spins the blades of a turbine, turning a rotor inside a generator. That mechanical motion is converted into electricity, which flows through power lines to homes and businesses. Wind energy is a clean, renewable way to power your home while reducing carbon emissions.
Hydroelectric Energy
Hydropower provides roughly 6% of U.S. electricity, with Washington, Oregon, and California among the top-producing states. Dams direct water through turbines, converting the kinetic energy of moving water into electricity.
Hydroelectric plants offer a stable, renewable energy source and are often paired with other green energy options in residential plans.
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy taps into the heat stored beneath the Earth’s surface. Hot water and steam spin turbines, generating electricity. The U.S. leads the world in geothermal energy production, with California, Nevada, and Utah producing the most. Texas also has significant untapped geothermal potential, especially from hot water produced alongside oil and gas operations. Geothermal energy is a clean, reliable, and constant source of electricity.
