What will it cost me to support renewable energy? - The extra cost is $2.10 for each 100 kWh that you sign up for.

Are all members eligible to participate in this program? - Yes. If you have more than one ECI account please specify through which account(s) you wish to contribute.

Can I decide at what level I will participate in the program? - Yes. Regardless of how many kilowatt-hours you use each month, you can sign up to support the purchase of only 100 kWh or any multiple of 100 kWh.

Will I receive renewable energy directly to my home or business? - No. Power from the wind turbines will be fed into the CIPCO electric system, from which ECI REC is supplied. The actual electricity flowing to your home or business will come from a mix of sources, one of which will be the wind turbines.

Will power to my home or business depend on the wind blowing? - No. Electricity will flow to your home or business regardless of whether the wind is blowing.
