Direct Energy Offering New REC Add-On Product in Addition to Existing Renewable Plans in Texas
September 19,2014
Direct Energy in Texas has begun offering residential customers the opportunity to purchase block RECs to complement their existing non-renewable electricity plans.
The new "Support Green" REC purchase program can be added to any standard product, and is separate from Direct's dedicated renewable energy offers.
Under the "Support Green" program, which costs $5 per month, Direct Energy will purchase 1 REC on the customer's behalf, equivalent to the offset of 1,000 kWh of non-renewable energy usage.
"Support Green gives you the option to encourage the continued growth of renewable energy on the Texas electricity grid while keeping your regular (non-renewable) electricity plan," Direct says in a blog post
