NOPEC Green Community Choice Program
The Green Community Choice Program enables communities to support 100% renewable energy initiatives through their default electric aggregation program. All eligible residents ad small businesses within Green Community Choice communities are automatically enrolled into the 100% Renewable Standard Program Price option for their electricity supplied through NOPEC unless they choose one of our other program options. The electricity supplied through this program is backed by 100% Renewable Energy Credits (RECs).
