NC GreenPower Update
In October 2003, Blue Ridge Electric began partnering with NC GreenPower. Since then, 315 of our members have signed up and more than $2,500 in contributions is sent each month to NC GreenPower by Blue Ridge Electric. Our members, combined with approximately 6,000 other consumers across the state, are working to protect our environment through their tax deductible contributions.

You Can Help Protect the Environment By Contributing to NC Green Power!
Now, you have a convenient and effective way to help protect our environment! Blue Ridge Electric has joined with other utilities across North Carolina to offer our members a renewable energy alternative called NC Green-Power. The program operates upon voluntary participation by members who elect to contribute at least $4 a month on their utility bill to help support a cleaner environment through electricity produced from renewable resources. All utilities participating in the NC Green Power program keep none of these funds; all contributions are forwarded by the utilities directly to NC GreenPower for the purchase of renewable energy for the North Carolina electric grid. Contributions are tax free and qualify as a tax deductible contribution for income tax purposes.
Under this new landmark program, it's easy to participate. Just click here or call Blue Ridge Electric to sign up today and begin contributing with your next electric bill. Remember, you have the power to make a difference!
NC GreenPower, an independent nonprofit organization, was approved by the North Carolina Utilities Commission to provide North Carolinians with greater options for their energy sources. NC GreenPower is committed to improving environmental protection by increasing renewable energy sources.
NC GreenPower is a subsidiary of Advanced Energy, located in Raleigh, N.C.
