Clean Energy Choice®
The Trust's Clean Energy Choice® program allows you to purchase electricity from renewable sources, which, in turn, generates matching grants for your community. Your town or city can receive up to one dollar in funding for each dollar residents spend on clean energy. This money can be used to fund clean energy projects.
