Green Power Switch®
|
|
|
In partnership with the Tennessee Valley Authority, Alcoa Electric offers customers the opportunity to purchase green power. Our program, Green Power Switch®, provides customers with the choice of paying a little more in order to support the production of green power produced from wind, solar energy, and methane gas — three sources available here in the Tennessee Valley.

Green power is electricity generated from renewable resources, such as wind, solar, methane gas, small hydropower or geothermal energy, some of the cleanest sources for energy available. By choosing to participate in the program, consumers are helping to protect the environment. The monthly cost of green power is just $4.00 for every 150 kWh.

The environmental impact of buying 2 blocks of clean energy ($8 per month) for a year is equal to:
- Recycling 480 lbs. of aluminum, or 15,322 aluminum cans
- Recycling 1,766 lbs. of newspaper
