Renewable Energy & Evergreen Program

 Distributed Generation

You have a choice for the future...and it’s renewable

You use more energy today than your parents did. And, your children will likely use more than you do, creating a greater demand for affordable, dependable and clean energy. Despite these demands, it’s possible that your children and grandchildren can enjoy a cleaner, greener world. It all depends on the choices you make today.

One choice you can make is to participate in the Evergreen^SM program. This new program offered by electric cooperatives in the Dairyland Power system lets you invest in harnessing an energy source that’s abundant and completely renewable—the wind.

Your electric cooperative, in partnership with other electric co-ops in the region, has been constructing a new wind farm. The more members that sign up throughout the region, the larger the wind farm will be. The wind farm will be targeted to initially serve about 2,000 families, however these co-ops have the option to expand the project based on the number of member commitments. 

Each family that chooses to participate in the program is committing to purchase at least one 100 kilowatt-hour (kWh) block of electricity from renewable sources. That’s about one-tenth of the electricity used per month by the average household. Of course, you can choose to purchase more. Each 100 kWh block will cost $1.50 per month more than electricity generated by our traditional cost-efficient methods.

Although renewable energy sources cost more than traditional forms of energy, the benefits are priceless. You can encourage the development of renewable energy sources by participating in this program. The Evergreen^SM program can make a difference. The choice is yours.

To participate in this program, contact Joyce at Riverland Energy.
