By adding as little as $1 to your monthly Avista payment, you are greening your energy. Your dollars go towards the purchase of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) with a mix of wind, solar, and other clean generation. $1 covers a block of 100 kWh or 300 kWh nationally and you decide the number of blocks you want. The same amount will be added to your bill every month.
For each dollar subscribed, customers offset greenhouse gas emissions from an average car driving about 173 miles.
In just one year, Avista My Clean Energy customers contributed to offsetting more than 73 million kilowatt hours of electric use, with clean, renewable energy - enough to power more than 6,000 homes for one year.
This year, contributions have supported projects like:
Nine Canyon Wind
- 75 acres located just south of Kennewick, WA
- 63 turbines standing 200-260 feet tall with blades ranging from 100 feet to 148 feet
- In total, the system has a maximum generating capacity of 95.9 megawatts (MW).
Supporting more renewables on our local grid with Solar Grants
Did you know that Avista does not make money on My Clean Energy? Instead, any profit generated goes to funding more renewables on the Avista grid. That’s right, Avista offers solar grants to local non-profits and educational institutions with funds collected that go beyond the cost of the program.
