You can contribute to making our community a greener place by choosing to have a portion, or all of your electricity generated by renewable sources.  The City of Petoskey is now offering a Voluntary Renewable Energy Program for all electric customers to help create a better future for Petoskey!

Customers who voluntarily enroll in this program will receive an additional charge of $0.01 per kWh, for the specified amount of electricity that is renewable. Customers have the option of choosing 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of their consumption from renewable energy sources.  Renewable energy is electricity that primarily comes from wind, solar and other sources that produce little or no emissions.

There are no requirements on the length of time a customer must remain in the program.  All participants electing to sign up will be enrolled until notification from the customer is received requesting termination.
