Green Power Switch®
AUB, The Tennessee Valley Authority
(TVA), and the environmental community are working together to provide AUB’s
customers the option of utilizing Green Power. Green Power is electric power drawn
from renewable resources that have a minimal impact on the environment. The use of
Green Power can help ease the dependence of the Tennessee Valley upon non-renewable
resources such as coal and other fossil fuels. By using fewer fossil fuels to generate
energy, we can help maintain the clean air and water we all enjoy for generations to
come.
TVA plans to use solar energy, wind, and landfill gas to generate power for
their Green Power Switch® program. To learn how each resource is utilized, click
the links below.
Both residential and non-residential AUB customers may participate in the Green Power
program. Once enrolled, customers may purchase Green Power at a rate of $4.00 per
150 kilowatt-hour block. Each block amounts to approximately 12% of the typical
household's energy usage. The generated Green Power is added to TVA's total power
mix which is then shared by customers in the Tennessee Valley.
