Green Mountain Energy is the nation’s longest-serving renewable electricity retailer. We were founded in 1997 with the mission to inspire hope and motivate action through the use of clean energy, and we are still 100% committed to this mission. All of the products we offer have an environmental benefit.

 

Since 1997, our customers have helped protect the environment and reduced their carbon footprints by choosing renewable energy. All of our home electricity plans use 100% clean energy powered by wind or solar. We offer plans that can help you save money with reduced pricing at certain times of day, and smart home products that help maximize energy efficiency — allowing you to live greener and more sustainably.

 

We also partner with our customers to make a positive impact on the planet through our charitable giving program, Sun Club, which has donated more than $14 million to projects across the country that empower organizations working toward a more sustainable future. Now that’s making a difference!

Most of the electricity in the United States comes from nonrenewable fossil fuel sources. In fact, generating electricity is the #1 industrial cause of air pollution in the U.S. It creates more CO2 emissions than any other sector and increases the effects of climate change.

 

Clean energy, on the other hand, is 100% pollution-free. It’s produced using naturally replenished and virtually inexhaustible sources like the sun and wind. Best of all, it can have a positive impact on the effects of climate change.

Energy sources that are either inexhaustible (solar, wind) or replenished over a short period of time (hydro, biomass, geothermal) are considered renewable. Most renewable energy ultimately comes from the sun — indirectly in the case of wind, water and biomass; directly in the case of solar generation.

To set up electricity at your new home, enter your new ZIP code to see available electricity plans, choose a plan that fits your energy needs and select your preferred service start date. It’s a good idea to arrange electricity service before move-in day so your home is ready when you arrive.

It’s best to set up electricity before your move-in date rather than waiting until moving day. When you enroll, select the date you want service to begin at your new address. Available start dates can vary based on your location and service requirements.

If you’re already a Green Mountain Energy customer, you can log in to your account to start the process of transferring service to your new address. Plan availability and service options may vary at your new location.

If your new home is in an area of Texas with a competitive electricity market, you can typically choose from available retail electricity providers and plans. Some areas of Texas are served by municipal utilities or electric cooperatives where provider choice may not be available.

Consider how much electricity your new home may use, when you typically use the most energy, the plan term and rate structure, and any plan-specific features. You can also consider renewable electricity options, including plans with free nights or weekends and solar options.

Yes. You don’t need rooftop solar panels to choose a renewable electricity plan. Green Mountain Energy offers electricity plans backed by renewable energy, so you can support renewable energy without installing solar panels on your home.
