GREEN TARIFFS ARE ALREADY WORKING IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE U.S.
A significant number of corporations, municipalities, and organizations in Indiana have announced clean energy and sustainability goals. However, it will be increasingly difficult for large Indiana-based companies and institutions to meet their clean energy goals unless Indiana utilities like Duke and AES give customers options to choose more renewable energy. Advanced Energy United is gathering a coalition of these institutions to advocate for a ‘Green Tariff’ with Duke and AES. If adopted, a well-designed Green Tariff would allow large energy customers to purchase new, locally-sourced renewable energy directly from their utility. United is signing interested large energy customers on to a coalition letter to show Duke and AES the customer demand that already exists in Indiana.
HOW GREEN TARIFFS CAN HELP INDIANA BUSINESSES AND INSTITUTIONS MEET THEIR CLEAN ENERGY GOALS
Green tariffs open up access to renewable energy sources without shifting costs to other customers or risking stranded assets for the utility.
Green tariffs directly result in deployment of new renewable projects which may be developed within the utility's territory.This brings local benefits, such as economic development, jobs, tax revenue, and cleaner air.
Green tariffs allow large energy customers to meet their renewable energy goals.Large energy buyers can acquire Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from new, local wind and solar projects without the need to negotiate or sign their own. Power Purchasing Agreement.
