Generation Location – 100% New York Renewables

 

By joining a GreenUp program, you are:

    • Clearing the air, offsetting carbon dioxide emissions from regular power plants
    • Conserving fossil fuels – oil, coal and natural gas – that are nonrenewable
    • Boosting energy diversity and sustainability
    • Buying new wind and small hydro from New York resource generators
    • Supporting New York and local economies
    • Developing New York’s renewable energy market

Here’s how it works:

    • You stay with National Grid, enrolling in the utility’s GreenUp program.
    • You decide whether you would like to sign up to offset 50%, 75% or 100% of monthly usage.
    • National Grid handles billing.  A separate line item showing your GreenUp enrollment will appear on your monthly electric bill.
    • Change or cancel your enrollment at any time.

Does my purchase mean I’m using renewable energy to power my home or business?

Not directly. Your purchase guarantees that clean, renewable energy is being placed on the electric grid, raising the percentage of renewable energy used overall.
