Green Mountain Energy New Jersey FAQs

Green Mountain Energy offers New Jersey residents and businesses the choice of cleaner electricity products for their home, made from renewable sources like wind. Did you know that making electricity creates more CO₂ than any other U.S. sector and is the #1 source of industrial air pollution in the U.S.?  By choosing clean Pollution Free^TM electricity, you can help reduce your household’s share of CO₂ emissions and help create a brighter future for all. Choosing renewable electricity  also supports the development and operation of new renewable, pollution-free generation facilities across the country.

After extending our commercial plan to business customers, we entered New Jersey as an electricity supplier in March 2015 to serve residential customers with cleaner energy. We are excited to serve New Jersey residents and hope you’ll join us in our mission to change the way power is made.

As the longest serving renewable energy retailer in the United States, Green Mountain Energy is a clean power pioneer. We believe in using wind, sun and water for good, something that sets us apart from other electricity suppliers.

Of course - when you choose Green Mountain Energy electricity you will still get the same reliable service you have now. Your local electric utility will continue to read your meter, provide billing, respond to power outages, and provide other services related to the delivery of electricity. If you experience delivery problems (for example, if your lights go out), please contact your utility company.

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, making electricity from traditional fossil resources creates more CO₂ than any other U.S. sector and is the #1 cause of industrial air pollution in the U.S. Choosing clean electricity from Green Mountain Energy helps support the development and continued operation of new renewable, pollution-free generation facilities.

It’s easy to start powering your home with renewable energy by signing up online or calling toll-free: 1-800-810-7300. You'll need your utility account number to enroll. You can find it in the billing details section on your utility bill.

Your Green Mountain cleaner energy service will begin in one to two billing cycles, depending on your meter read date.

No. Nothing will change about how your electricity is delivered. There will be no service interruptions and no extra equipment is required. We work with your local utility company to take care of all the arrangements. You won’t notice anything new, other than seeing Green Mountain Energy listed in the supply portion of your bill.

No. Your local utility company supports energy competition and encourages customers to choose an electricity supplier that is right for them. The utility's main job is energy delivery, while electricity suppliers (like us) help consumers choose where their energy comes from. Even after you choose an electricity supplier, your utility will still be there to read your meter, handle service calls and billing, and provide emergency assistance.

Not quite. It means you can choose who supplies your electricity, not the utility that delivers it. By choosing who supplies your electricity, you have the ability to choose 100% renewable energy, like from wind or solar.
