Why choose green energy?
Green energy is a type of energy resource that causes the least harm to the environment and is naturally replenishable. It can include solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, eligible biomass, and low-impact small hydroelectric sources, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Green energy benefits the environment more than traditional fuel sources, like coal and oil, because it does not release harmful chemicals. Choosing green energy sources for your electricity is a great way to reduce environmental impact. Fortunately, customers in deregulated states can choose electricity plans sourced from 100% green energy. SaveOnEnergy partners with trusted eco-friendly providers to make choosing green energy easy.

How does green energy help the environment?
Traditional energy sources, such as coal and oil, release greenhouse gases that heat our atmosphere and contribute to climate change. Carbon dioxide is one of the leading greenhouse gases and accounts for 79.7% of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) calculated that residential electricity accounted for 311 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2023. Switching to green energy, which does not emit harmful gasses, can help lessen our impact on the environment. If you want to make eco-friendly changes, signing up for a green energy plan is a great starting point.
