Green Power for Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana
Customers - FOR AS LITTLE AS $2.25 per month
Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana now offer electricity
generated from environmentally-friendly renewable energy producers in the
state. Power from these green providers – offered in blocks – goes into the
electric system as part of the total power mix, which is shared by Entergy
Louisiana and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana customers.
Neither Entergy Louisiana nor Entergy Gulf States Louisiana benefits
financially from your green power purchase. The blocks you purchase go
directly to the Geaux Green program. Geaux Green was put in place by the
Louisiana Public Service Commission in 2007 to buy green power from local
Louisiana producers, foster the development of a green power industry in the
state and increase customer awareness of the renewable energy option.
You can be part of an effort with environmental benefits today and help build
a future where affordable renewable energy can play an important role in the
energy mix in our state.
What Is Green Power?
Green power is a popular name for electricity generated from renewable energy
sources. It is purchased voluntarily by consumers and businesses who want to
do their part to reduce greenhouse gases and dependence on fossil fuels.
What Are Renewable Energy Sources?
Biomass, hydroelectric, wind, solar, and geothermal are all considered
renewable, earth-friendly, green power sources.
What Is The Benefit Of Using Green Power?
The more green power we use, the less fossil fuels we need to generate
electricity. green power preserves limited resources and reduces greenhouse
gas emissions believed to contribute to global climate change.
Why Does Green Power Cost More?
The current technology used for small scale renewable energy is generally more
expensive than conventional generation. The Geaux Green program is designed to
create a way for renewable electricity providers in Louisiana to sell
electricity to environmentally-conscious customers. As technology advances and
more renewable resources become available in the state, it is likely that
green power costs will be more in line with traditional generation.
