Renewable Energy Options with PGE

Choose from our two different green options to receive clean, renewable sources of energy for your home or business.

Green Source ^SM

With Green Source, All of the energy you pay for comes from renewable power.*

How it works: 100 percent of your monthly usage is offset with renewable resources.
Cost: Add an extra $0.012 per kWh to your regular PGE rate. It equates to about $9 more a month for a typical PGE residential customer and $13 for a typical small business customer.**

Clean Wind ^SM

With Clean Wind, you buy small units of wind energy.  The new wind comes from wind farms in Oregon, Washington and California, as well as Idaho, Wyoming and/or Montana.*

How it works: This is offered in 200 kWh units, each of which represents about 25 percent of your monthly usage.**
Cost: Add an extra $3.50 per 200 kWh unit — purchase as many units as you wish.

Plus:

Habitat Support can be added to either option. This monthly $2.50 fee goes directly to The Nature Conservancy , and is dedicated to restoration of local fish habitat.
