GreenChoice^®—Program Details

Green Power is Flowing into Austin
Most of Austin Energy's green power comes from wind turbines in McCamey and Sweetwater, Texas. The McCamey turbines have been operating since summer 2001. The Sweetwater turbines came online in December 2005. We expect more online very soon.

Austin Energy also receives electricity from several solar installations and three landfill gas projects in Austin and San Antonio.

Protection Against Rising Fuel Prices
Austin Energy signs multi-year contracts for renewable energy. This allows us to offer subscribers a fixed, long-term price.

The GreenChoice^® charge replaces the regular fuel charge.

Green-e^® Energy certifies that Austin Energy’s GreenChoice^® Program meets the minimum environmental and consumer protection standards established by the non-profit Center for Resource Solutions.
