Feels good to go green!

(4.1 / 5)

  We switched from Reliant Energy which had horrible rates and service to Green Mountain 3yrs ago. Customer Service is excellent and we do save money over Reliant but rates could be better. Never lost power even through hurricane Ike. It feels good to know we are making a difference by going green!

Great Energy Provider

(4 / 5)

  My personal experience with this energy provider has been in fact very good over the last several month since switched from Reliant Energy. The switch reduced our monthly energy bill to half, while giving us an impression of helping the environment and saving the world a bit.

Good Company & beneficial for the enviroment

(4 / 5)

  I recently switched from Reliant to Green Mountain Energy. I can honestly say that I love this company because aside of my bill getting lower i am helping the enviroment. I haven't called the customer care line so i won't know how they are but they have almost everything that Reliant use to provide me (except chatting) but at least i'm helping the enviroment. Prices are not that low but they are competitive, what you expect? IS GREEN ENERGY & that is what makes the price be higher.I would recommend this company!

  Good customer service, I like wind and alternative elect. sources, Price could be a tad lower, But progress is worth a few extra dollars a month I guess.

IT"S NOT ABOUT PRICE!

(3.8 / 5)

  I've been with green mountain for two years and I just want to respond to the negative feedback here. When you're shopping for electricity you will always get what you pay for. Dirt cheap electricity always has fees that punish you for trying to conserve energy. Green Mountain isn't the cheapest, but their whole initiative and their intention as a business is the reason why i pay at fair market price. The iphone for example,is a product that has value beyond the price. It's not just you're average joe polluted coal/nuclear electricity. Its clean energy and it feels good to be a part of the growing demand for it, which will bring the price DOWN if enough of us started caring about the earth.

Green Mountain Energy - The Cleaner Choice

(3.8 / 5)

  Green Mountain Energy is the largest retail provider of cleaner electricity in the nation.Last month I used 1,954 KWh of electricity which is the equivalent of 416 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions avoided and 463 automobile miles not driven.I absolutely recommend Green Mountain Energy to others.

They need to improve their customer service

(3.7 / 5)

  Green Mountain Energy offers great solutions for pollution! That is really Good! However their customer service sucks! If you like being green and are okay with paying on line or not having to talk to someone, you will like them.

DISCONNECTED SERVICE, THEIR MISTAKE!!

(3.6 / 5)

  I called the morning of Jun. 1,2020 to ask the why my electricity is disconnected. I clearly called them on 2 occasions to cancel my disconnection notice since I had not yet moved into my house. They told me after I waited over an hour being transferred, that they will connect me in 1 or 2 hours top. It is not 5:15 p.m I have NO ELECTRICITY & they are not answering. I am so humiliated after paying them $218.00 balance that was suppose to be made in payments & they still haven't taken the time to connect my service. It is outrageous. I have been a loyal customer for over 5 or 6 years.

Happy til the end

(3.6 / 5)

  The price we received with our initial contract was outstanding. No issues during the life of the contract. However, a letter comes and tells us of a 40% increase in price. Therefore, we switched to another provider. And as a parting gift they hit us with a $200 contract cancellation fee.

Prior customer for 5 years

(3.6 / 5)

  I recently changed energy providers, but I was mostly satisfied with GME during those years. It was great to see how they have expanded to more states and how much their website improved. I was always very appreciative that there was a "green" energy provider in Tx. I didn't mind paying a little more pkw. I enjoyed their convenient bill pay, no hidden fees, friendly customer service reps, and the overall experience. I finally switched because I was able to find a more competitive rate but sad to say they are not "green." If things don't work out with this provider I will probably return to GME. Thank you.

Solid Elec Company

(3.5 / 5)

  I've had green mountain for several years now. I like them as a company, they send cool emails and have fun things going on. My biggest gripe would be their "My Account"and not being able to sign up for automatic payment there. I had to remember each month to login (with their impossible password) and pay. But, when I had to call their customer service dept, they were always super nice and helpful.

Ok

(3.4 / 5)

  I have Green Mountain Energy now. Everything was going well until I tried paying my bill online at my 4th month. Card Declined. Okay, I payed again called great mountain. Called bank to confirm my info was right. It was. And I charged my bank account three times. And I did the math it didn't add up. I paid on time so no charges should be extra. And I'm really disappointed...I sent green mountain my bill , and bank statements and I haven't heard back from them. I doubt they really care. I'm sure they will enjoy my extra money.. Going to be switching soon.

After 7 years, time for a change

(3.4 / 5)

  Been using since 2006. Introductory rate brought my bill down considerably, but after about three years I noticed on average my rate had crept up to about $0.18 / kWH. When I called at renewal time, I was able to request and receive a much lower rate that is typically offered to new customers only, so I have stayed with them for another 3 years, going thru the same "call and request procedure" every 6 months. Now it's renewal time again and I was told that I could no longer receive the lower rate, so I am planning on switching. For a company with a simple philosophy and only 100% renewable plans, I wish they could keep things even simpler by offering their lowest possible rate to returning customers.

Green Mountain is Great

(3.4 / 5)

  Green Mountain has always done what they said they would. Great customer service extremly nice and understanding, eventhough they charged me a $20.00 fee for sending out a letter. Ouch!! That taught me to never be late again. Green Mountain works for me. I have been a customer for over five years.

Not what I expected.

(3.4 / 5)

  I signed up with greenmountain energy almost a year ago. I must admit, due to hardship, I pay my bill right before the disconnection date of the notice that is mailed out. The disconnection notice fee was $15.00 and now it is $20.00 plus an additional $8.99 late fee and a $3.24 charge that makes no sense to me. I do not understand why they charge $20.00 to send out a peice of paper, stamp, and envelope worh less than $1.00. I recently called due to a hardship to request more time to pay my past due amount. Well, I was told that because I was late too often there was nothing anyone could do for me. I was so shocked. My services have never been disconnected although I have paid late often. In these hard economic times I thought they would at least understand. Well I was definitely wrong. I, nor anyone else is who not perfect, is a valued customer and this is just another example of corporate greed. The rates are ok but the hidden fees are a mess. Plus variable rates.

Green Mountain is fine but nothing special

(3.3 / 5)

  The online system works well but other than that the company offers mediocre service (but orders of magnitude better than Amigo energy....that company is horrible at best).

Not happy

(3.3 / 5)

  Switched to Green Mtn in 2008 right in the middle of the tremendous gas price increase. Rate was good at the time, 16.9 per K/wh. Can now get around 11.5 to 13.0 Problem was their incentive, $50 gift card after 2 months of service, with no late payments. I fulfilled the requirement and was told after the two months that 'we no longer have that incentive'. How convenient!!! Called cust ser and was told gift card is on it's way, never received. Bye bye Green Mtn.
