Member Owned Renewable Energy
OPALCO is proud to unveil a new generation of green power: Member Owned Renewable Energy, or MORE. The MORE Program collects member donations for green power, as before, but now 100% of all donations will go toward supporting local members who are generating their own renewable energy and are interconnected to OPALCO’s system.
Find out how the new program works here: MORE Policy (5-13-11)
How can you participate? It’s easy. If you are already opting into OPALCO’s green power program you can simply continue as before—the difference is where your donations are put to work: right here in San Juan County. If you want to join OPALCO’s green power program, check the box on your paper bill or call in to let us know at 376-3500. Members can opt-in to support MORE by the block ($4/block), designate a higher monthly donation amount and/or make a one-time donation to the MORE Program.
MORE “Superheroes” can opt into full participation by signing up for a four-cent premium per kilowatt hour for all energy consumed on their monthly bills.
Please join us with your monthly contribution to MORE. As a co-op, we can save energy and position ourselves for a more sustainable future as we work together to bring more local renewable generation onto our own system.
OPALCO is proud to have more than 60 local members generating their own renewable power. We truly “get our power from you!”
