Energy Efficiency & Renewable Resources

NC GreenPower

In January 2004, Jones-Onslow EMC began partnering with NC GreenPower, an independent nonprofit whose mission is to expand public knowledge and acceptance of cleaner energy technologies to all North Carolinians through local, community-based initiatives. Since then, customers have signed up to make monthly contributions to the program. Our members, combined with other consumers across the state, are working to protect our environment through their tax-deductible contributions.

The program is designed to improve the environment by supporting renewable energy, carbon offset projects and providing grants for educational solar installations at N.C. K-12 schools. Customers may elect to contribute on their utility bill to help support a cleaner environment through electricity produced from renewable resources. For every $4 donated, 125 kilowatt hours (kWh) of renewable energy is supplied to the electric grid in North Carolina, rather than from traditional sources. In addition, each $4 donation provides grants to N.C. K-12 schools for educational solar installations.
