With our clean energy plans, you can get 100% renewable energy regardless of your living situation. Explore a few of our plan options below to get started.

Go Local Solar - 100% Texas Solar Energy

Go Local Solar is a fixed-price electricity plan that lets you power your home with 100% solar electricity sourced from solar parks. We'll also set aside money each month on your behalf to make solar more available and affordable in Texas, so you'll be supporting tomorrow's green energy as well as today's. Best of all, this plan is Green-e® certified, meaning you can be confident you're buying the highest-quality renewable energy.

SolarSPARC

Signing up for a SolarSPARC plan will help fund projects and technologies that can make solar energy more affordable. This solar energy plan also earns you an annual solar credit, which you can either keep or sell, and you can even set your plan term to a length that works for you.

Solar All-Nighter for Electric Vehicles (EVs)

This clean energy plan is ideal for EV owners, as it offers a reduced energy price at night for more efficient electric vehicle charging. You'll get 100% solar energy at an affordable fixed price at all times of the day, and the reduced price lasts from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day.

Pollution Free All-Nighter

Going green has never been easier, especially with a plan that offers you 100% clean energy from wind at an affordable price. Our Pollution Free All All-Nighter plan helps you reduce your greenhouse gas emissions and support a cleaner grid while also giving you free energy from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day. The plan comes at a fixed price at all other times.

If your home already has a solar panel system installed or you’re planning to install one in the future, you can benefit from one of the plans below. You'll need a home solar panel system, an interconnection agreement in place with your utility company, and a meter configured by your utility to and from your home.

Green Mountain Energy offers three solar buyback plans:

1. Renewable Rewards Solar Credit gives you credit for 100% of the excess solar energy generation you send to the electricity grid, and there's no limit on the amount of credit you can earn.
2. Renewable Rewards Essentials also gives you bill credits for your system's excess energy, but this is capped at your monthly usage.
3. Renewable Rewards Solar Max gives you credits for the excess solar energy you send to the grid, based on real-time wholesale prices, with no cap.

It is important to note that Renewable Rewards is not offered in the Northeast. 

Finally, if you’re looking for another way to support a cleaner planet, even if you have a gas-powered car, consider Solar with Green Mountain Driver. This plan will offset the carbon emissions from your vehicle using 100% solar energy, so you can enjoy peace of mind without having to switch to an EV.
