In honor of Earth Day, we want to share some of the exciting accomplishments we’ve made together with our customers over the past year. One item we’re most proud of? Our customer impact is bigger than ever! Read on to see the many reasons we’re putting the “Green” in Green Mountain…
Most non-profit organizations are constantly looking for ongoing sources of funding. If you’re a non-profit here in Texas, Green Mountain is here to help!

Our Sun Club™ has brought a little more sunshine and a unique educational opportunity to the students at Houston’s Wilson Montessori School.

Those of you in Texas (and probably outside of Texas, too) know that South by Southwest 2013 is nearly upon us! If you’re an Interactive, Gold or Platinum SXSW badge-holder interested in checking out some “green” panels, we’ve got the SXSW guide for you.

Superstorm Sandy undoubtedly took both an emotional and physical toll on the East Coast, as the latest reports from CNN estimate that Sandy left nearly 8 million Americans across 15 states without power and caused $50 billion in economic damage. On behalf of our employees and customers in both New Jersey and New York, we are supporting the relief efforts in those areas through donations to the American Red Cross. We are also donating funds to help restore the natural resources that were affected. We’ve committed a $3,000 donation and will be increasing that amount with an additional $5 contribution for every new East Coast residential customer that signs up in person with us.
