Renewable Energy Certificates

Did you know that you can choose renewable energy for your home without having to set up any new equipment? By adding a very small amount to your electric bill, you can designate that a portion of your home's electricity comes from renewable resources. This is available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

The full details can be found in our rate book on the Michigan Public Service Commission's website. 

Program Highlights

The following charges shall apply and will be in addition to the normal charges applied under the applicable Rider(s) and Rate Schedule(s) in effect at the member's metered location:

  • Maximum Monthly Charge for each 100 kWh block: $2.50 for Renewable Energy Certificates plus a $0.50 administrative fee
  • Current Monthly Charge for each 100 kWh block: $0.75 for RECs plus a $0.25 administrative fee

You may elect fixed increments (per block) up to the total actual annual Entitlement Share available to MEC under the rate to which this Rider is attached. In the event that the energy represented in the blocks purchased exceeds the member's actual kWh delivered for the billing period, no reconciliation shall be made on the member's billing. The above-referenced Maximum Monthly Charge is a not-to-exceed amount. The Current Monthly Charge is subject to revision up to the Maximum Monthly Charge with thirty days written notice to the Board of Directors.

The minimum term available is one complete billing period extending thereafter from billing period to billing period. Members shall provide at least three business days' notice of their desire to begin or terminate service.
