Doing Your Part for Renewable Energy

Supporting renewable energy generation is one way NHEC members can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.

NHEC is on track to comply with New Hampshire’s Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard (RPS), which requires the purchase of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) equal to 25% of our power supply by 2025.

Members who wish to go above and beyond that goal and support renewable energy development can purchase RECs through NHEC’s Renewable Choice Program. Members who enroll in the Renewable Choice Program can purchase “blocks” of renewable energy credits for an additional monthly fee. These REC purchases support the development and operation of renewable energy from local solar and wind facilities, such as the Lempster Wind Power Project and the Beaver Ridge Wind Farm. Member REC purchases through the Renewable Choice Program are above and beyond NHEC’s RPS requirements. LEARN MORE & SIGN UP >>
