MOM’s Organic Market’s ER Blog

As some of you know, MOM’s is a founding partner of the Clean Energy Partnership.  Another of the founding members, Gary Skulnik, is the president of Clean Currents.  Up until recently, the main emphasis was on helping businesses make the switch.  Now, residents are able to purchase wind power for their homes as well.

For those of you aware of how the system works, this is not your normal REC (Renewable Energy Credit) purchase.  It goes directly through your energy provider and currently anyone with Pepco in D.C., or Pepco or BGE in the Chesapeake region of Maryland is eligible.

It ends up being a line item on your energy bill, and does not cost that much more than your current bill does.  In addition, you get to lock in a rate for one or two years, so if your current rates go up you will end up saving money over the long haul.  A hidden benefit of going green.

You can check out the nuts and bolts here at Clean Currents.
