Green Powered - Green Energy Consumers Alliance

Green Powered (www.greenenergyconsumers.org/greenpowered) is a program of the Green Energy Consumers Alliance (www.greenenergyconsumers.org), a non-profit organization that has been succeeding in making energy more affordable and environmentally sustainable since 1982. Green Energy serves as a trusted voice for both consumers and the environment on local, state, regional and national energy issues. Their goal is to reduce emissions 80% by 2050 and stop climate change. How does it work? For every kilowatt hour that you use, GECA ensures that a renewable energy generator puts enough power onto the grid to meet your usage. They do this by purchasing renewable energy certificates (RECs) from a renewable energy generator on your behalf. Your contributions for REC purchases, and those of thousands of other GECA members, thereby increase demand for renewable energy on the New England power grid, fund new sources of renewable power, and reduce our need to burn fossil fuels for electricity.
