\n
    \n
  1. \n\nStandard Green Energy Option: $3.50 (plus tax) a month per 100 kWh block.\n<\/strong>\n
    \nThis option delivers Green-e Energy certified renewable energy that is\ngenerated entirely by biomass.\n
  2. \n\nPremium Green Energy with Solar Option: $5.00 (plus tax) a month per 100 kWh block.\n<\/strong>\n
    \nThis option delivers Green-e Energy certified renewable energy that\ncontains a mix of at least 50% solar and 50% biomass energy.\n<\/blockquote>\nYou get a separate line item on your bill for whichever one you buy.\n

    \nSome people claim that there’s no way to do this because it’s just\nelectrons once it gets on the wire.\nSure, and money is just dollars once you spend it.\nBut contracts can determine where those dollars go, and in exchange for what:\n

    \nDue to the way electricity is transmitted and distributed, energy\npurchased or produced from renewable energy resources may not be\nspecifically delivered to you. However, the renewable energy you purchase\nwill be added to the power grid and will displace incremental power that\nwould have otherwise been produced from traditional generating resources.\n<\/blockquote>\nSo as Jaime Hockin advised, if you want to show you want renewable\nenergy, and you are a Georgia Power customer, sign up and\nGeorgia Power will hear you!\n
