CT Clean Energy Options

Through a Department of Public Utilities Control (DPUC) approved program called "CTCleanEnergyOptions", any CL&P or UI customer can support clean energy made from approved renewable resources such as wind, small hydro and landfill gas. Enrolling customers continue to receive electric delivery service from their utility and pay a small surcharge ($4-$9 on average) that goes toward the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), which certify that specific amounts of clean energy have been placed on the electric grid. The purchase of RECs creates a second revenue stream for renewable electricity generators, and in many cases makes building additional renewable capacity financially viable.

Although the current fuel source used to generate the electricity provided to the customer does not change upon enrollment, CTCleanEnergyOptions customers encourage a growing market that enables new clean, renewable generation facilities to be built and connected to the regional power grid. The Town of Branford's municipal REC purchases through this program qualify the town to receive 2 kW of FREE solar panels from the CT Clean Energy Fund for every 100 local residential and small business sign-ups to the program.
