Simple! New York State is encouraging more clean energy to be connected to the grid. To encourage people to sign up, each subscriber receives energy credits on their existing National Grid account. These credits lower your energy payments each month.
You will prevent between 6,000-15,000 pounds of carbon emissions each year, depending on your utility and your electricity usage. Over the lifetime of a project this equates to preventing 120,000-300,000 pounds of carbon emissions. This is a direct reduction of emissions and pollution in your community!
