CLEAN ENERGY CHOICE
FAQS AND APPLICATION
Frequently Asked Questions
What is renewable energy?
Renewable energy is generated from facilities powered by
wind, solar, bioenergy, water, and more.
Where does the renewable energy from Clean Energy Choice come from?
The renewable energy for the Clean Energy Choice program is supplied by Minnesota Municipal Power Agency’s
renewable resources. MMPA’s renewable resources include: wind, solar, and biomass.
For more information please visit http://www.mmpa.org/sustainable-energy/overview/
How much does Clean Energy Choice cost?
Clean Energy Choice is an affordable way for residential electric customers to support renewable energy. For an
additional $3 a month, 100% of your electricity can be sourced from renewable resources. Alternatively, for $2 a
month, 75% of your electricity can be sourced from renewable resources, or for $1 a month, 50% of your electricity
can be sourced from renewable resources.
Does renewable energy flow directly to my home or rental unit?
No. The renewable energy that’s generated enters into the “electric grid,” so it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly where
the specific electricity supplying your home or rental unit originates. However, Renewable Energy Certificates
(RECs) provided as part of the Clean Energy Choice program guarantee that your renewable purchases are certified
renewable energy in Minnesota.
What are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)?
Every kilowatt-hour of renewable energy generated by MMPA is assigned a unique REC number to ensure that each
unit of renewable energy is accurately tracked. The State of Minnesota also uses RECs to track renewable energy use.
The Clean Energy Choice program utilizes these RECs to ensure that you are helping to support sustainable energy
systems for the future.
Am I committed to a contract term?
No. The subscription appears as a surcharge on your monthly electric bill. There is no minimum term commitment for
Clean Energy Choice. You can choose to unsubscribe at any time.
