Opt Up to 100% Renewable Energy Sources

What if every home and small business in Westchester County decided to buy electricity that comes from 100% renewable energy?

Our Westchester Power Program makes that possible today! Our 100% renewable energy supply, our Green Option, is very popular. In fact, 15 of our 21 participating municipalities chose to start all their eligible customers in the Green Option.  That means over 70,000 homes and small businesses in those communities will receive 100% renewable energy supply at a very attractive fixed rate for two years or longer.

Join over 70,000 homes and small businesses now if you want clean energy, clean air and clean water!

Choosing our 100% renewable energy supply, our Green Option, is the first step toward achieving these goals. 
Whether you’re a resident or a local business, you have the power to increase the demand for renewable energy supply today. It is easy, and less expensive than what you paid for the basic supply of fossil fuel, nuclear and some renewables in 2015.
