With solar and other renewables providing more power, green energy plans are helping PECO consumers cut their carbon usage and save money.<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Believe it or not, utility scale solar<\/a> is booming in the U.S. In May, it became the nation’s third largest source of electricity<\/a>! Plus, clean energy sources are now\u00a0cheaper to build<\/a>\u00a0than natural gas and coal plants. So, that helps electric suppliers<\/a> keep their rates lower. Thankfully, you can also use your PA energy choice<\/a> to shop green energy plans, and support renewables. Check out four of our favorites in Philly<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are REC’s?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Green energy plans don’t necessarily mean that the electricity coming to your home is directly from a renewable power source. Instead, PA green energy plans are powered by renewable energy credits<\/strong> (REC’s). When a green energy facility produces 1 megawatt of electricity and sends it to the power grid, it issues a new REC<\/a>. The credit represents the value of that green energy. Companies with sustainability programs also use RECs to track their green energy use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PA energy suppliers can also buy and sell REC’s to support green energy. And with green energy plans, suppliers purchase REC’s to offset the fossil fuel fired energy their customers use. So that way, your money goes directly to supporting green energy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Four Green Energy Plans in Philly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now let’s look at some 100% renewable energy plans for PECO<\/a><\/strong> customers!
