Home Customer Programs Choose Renewable

Choose Renewable is one of the most popular programs offered by member utilities of WPPI Energy.

Choose Renewable customers commit to supporting renewable energy with an increase on their monthly bill by a few dollars. Each renewable energy block equates to 300 kilowatt-hours of renewable energy each at just $2 per month. An average-sized home can offset its energy usage with the purchase of three renewable energy blocks. And, with no equipment to buy or install, there’s no need to worry about payback periods or annual maintenance costs. In 2024, over 4,300 customers purchased 255,677 blocks equal to 76,703,000 KWh, which is enough energy to power 7,100 homes.

This table provides the renewable resource mix for solar and biogas energy in 2024. These figures reflect the renewable resources that WPPI Energy has contracted. Actual figures may vary according to resource availability. The resource mix includes:

Solar: 92.2%
Biogas: 7.8%

The funds invested in Choose Renewable support education and outreach about renewable energy in our local communities. Over the 20+ year history of the program, participation has helped fund renewable energy projects in the region through renewable energy grants for non-profit organizations and 132 projects in local WPPI member communities. Because it is generated in the Midwest, renewable energy can help increase our energy independence. With Choose Renewable, we are making a difference.
