GreenChoice®

At almost 800 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) in subscriptions and growing, Austin Energy's GreenChoice® is the nation's most successful utility-sponsored green energy program. Our GreenChoice customers support electric generation from clean, renewable sources.

Subscriptions
GreenChoice subscriptions are again available to the public. Austin Energy customers can subscribe for five years at a GreenChoice charge of 5.7 cents per kWh. This charge will replace Austin Energy's fuel charge of 3.65 cents per kWh. An average residential customer using about 1,000 kWh per month will pay about $20.50 per month more by subscribing to GreenChoice.

(Note: Austin Energy will automatically upgrade all customers who enrolled after January 2009 to this new five-year subscription.)

How to Subscribe
New residential subscribers can sign up for Greenchoice via the Web or by calling (512) 972-7548. There is no waiting list.

Small business and commercial customers can learn more by completing this form. An Austin Energy representative will contact you to discuss your needs.

Key Account customers should contact their account manager.

Being Green—It's Easier than Ever
In the meantime, you can do many “green” things to reduce emissions and help protect Central Texas' environment. Other popular programs with “green” Energy Efficiency options include Austin Energy Green Building™ and Austin Energy’s Power Saver™ Program offerings, such the Solar Water Heater and Solar PV rebates.

Thank you for helping make GreenChoice America's #1 green power program.
