Pacific Power offers three renewable power options to its Oregon customers -
Blue Sky Block lets you purchase wind energy in 100 kilowatt-hour (kwh) increments called blocks for an additional fixed cost of $1.95 per block per month. You can buy as many blocks as you'd like, allowing you to match a portion or all your energy usage to new wind resources around the region.
Blue Sky Usage equals your total monthly usage and features energy from 100% new renewable sources - wind, biomass and solar. The additional cost is 0.78 cents per kwh - less than a penny. For the average home using 1,000 kwh monthly, Blue Sky usage would cost about $8.00 more per month.
Blue Sky Habitat works like the Usage option (above), but also includes a $2.50 monthly donation to The Nature Conservancy , a nonprofit organization dedicated to the restoration of native salmon habitat. The average additional monthly cost for this option is $10.30.

Clean Wind allows you to support development of new wind power generation in the Pacific Northwest. With this option, you purchase small units of wind power at a fixed price of $3.50 per 200 kWh block, which is billed in addition to your normal monthly charges. The funds from your Clean Wind choice will support construction of new renewable resources in the Pacific Northwest, such as the solar panels on the Oregon State Capitol.
Habitat Support optional supplement to either Green Source or Clean Wind and supports stream habitat for salmon and other fish foran additional $2.50 per month, which goes directly to The Nature Conservancy.

What if my utility is not listed?
Please contact your utility and request that they purchase renewables and/or offer their customers a green power option that meets regional standards developed though Renew 2000. In this age of restructuring and customer choice, utilities care what their customers think -- demand renewable energy and you might get it!

Another option is to purchase Green Tags through the Bonneville Environmental Foundation. Green Tags are created when wind power or other renewable energy is substituted for traditional power. Green Tags represent the real savings in carbon dioxide and other pollutants that occur when green power replaces burning fossil fuels. Buying Green Tags has the same effect as buying green power. Both replace fossil fuel generators with clean renewables, and both have the same environmental benefits. And you can buy Green Tags from anywhere in the world!
