From the City of East Point’s site:
“The city of East Point is now offering “Green Power” to our business and residential utility accounts. Green Power is a way to bring electricity generated by cleaner, renewable resources to our consumers. Green Power is energy that is generated from solar, wind, bio-mass or landfill gas. The renewable energy is cheap; however, the technology to generate the power is very expensive. Green Power is available to residential customers in 100 kilowatt hour blocks. Each block costs $2.50 and represents about 12 percent of the average household’s typical monthly power bill (1200 kWh). Customers can purchase as many blocks as they wish. Green Power is also available to commercial and industrial customers and will be sold based on their total energy consumption.
The environmental impact of traditional energy resources like coal, natural gas, oil and nuclear power can be significant. Although no energy source is impact-free, renewable resources create less waste and pollution. An investment of an additional $2.50 per month on your power bill, over the course of year, is the environmental equivalent of driving 151 fewer miles (in an average car) or planting 1/10th acre of fully mature trees.
For more information on the Green Power Program please call (404) 270-7061.”
