WHAT IS GREEN POWER?  Green Power is electricity generated from renewable, non-polluting resources such as wind and solar.  The more Green Power we build and use, the better for the climate and environment.

Residential customers can choose from three different participation levels:

* Orca -    You may purchase green power in amounts of your choice and amounts greater than $10 per month.  Please request amounts in $1 steps - $4, $8, $25 - for example.

Sign up for EverGreen Options  -  residential  |  business

Customers who receive their bill every two months will see the monthly amount they choose double on their bill.  For example, the frog level will be six dollars for the two-month billing period.  The charges for the EverGreen Options program are in addition to your existing bill. These charges are fixed at a set monthly rate and will not vary from month to month unless you choose to change your participation level.

More Green Power for the Dollar for EverGreen Options Customers

Due to favorable contract terms with Tacoma Power's recent purchases of new renewable energy resources for our EverGreen Options program, we're supplying customers with more green power per dollar - 25 percent more - at all subscription levels. This new supply, a portfolio of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) assembled by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), follows prior years' program supply, Environmentally Preferred Power (EPP), also from BPA. These RECs, also know as Green Tags, are generated from new, certified wind resources in the Pacific Northwest. 

Green Tags represent the environmental attributes of qualifying renewable energy resources. For example, a unit of wind-generated energy from the Stateline Project is both electricity delivered to the power grid, and the environmental benefit of this electricity production - zero pollution and greenhouse gas impacts. A Green Tag is this environmental benefit resulting from 1000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) or 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of qualified renewable electricity generation. Green tag purchases directly support the development of new certified renewable electricity generation in the Pacific Northwest.
