Are you getting phone calls from companies you've never heard of asking you to switch to "green energy" - but you don't know who to trust?
You, like many of us, may not be able to put solar panels on your roof. Sierra Club and Green Energy Consumers Alliance have an easy way for you to purchase renewable energy for your home. We have worked together for many years to advocate for better energy policy and are teaming up now to help you switch to cleaner electricity.
You may have received offers in the mail to “go green.” Many of those offers do nothing to increase the renewable share of electricity in Massachusetts, and are profitable only to the companies providing the services. The Green Energy Consumers program, called Green Powered, actually increases the share of renewable energy in the Commonwealth, helping us to cut back faster on fossil-fuel consumption.

You can choose the electricity mix in just a few simple steps.
Most people’s electricity comes from fossil fuels and nuclear. When you make the switch through Green Energy Consumers' Green Powered program, your home’s electricity use brings renewable energy onto the grid instead. Green Energy Consumers uses the strength of 9,000 participants to support New England wind turbines, solar systems, and more.
When you switch, please mention that the Sierra Club referred you; Green Energy Consumers will donate up to $50 to us. Switch today — it’s easy. Once you do, you will continue to be billed as you are now; your utility will continue to deliver your electricity as it does today.
