Making a difference
Catamount has partnered with Community Energy to purchase wind generated power to offset 100% of the electricity used at its New York / Massachusetts facility. The environmental benefit of this purchase is estimated to be the equivalent of preventing 927 metric tons of
CO2 from being released into the atmosphere. This is like:
Planting 835 acres of trees Taking 194 cars off the road

You Can Make a Difference Too – Just Fill Out the Form Below!
Be like Catamount and choose renewable energy for your home electricity needs. Just fill out the form below – It's easy! When you sign up, you help drive the demand for more pollution-free energy, and that means more clean energy projects in our region! You will still receive an electric bill from your utility company and the same safe, reliable electricity service you depend on. Nothing else about your electricity service will change.
How Will the Renewable Energy get to Catamount and my home?
When you sign up for wind energy, you purchase Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). RECs ensure that wind energy is generated and placed onto the power grid on the customer's behalf. You can think of the power grid like a giant bathtub being filled with electricity from many different faucets – like nuclear, coal or wind. Every time a light switch is turned on, a little electricity is drained from the tub. Buying wind energy from Community Energy increases the amount of pollution-free wind generated electricity, or pours clean water into the tub, and decreases the need for energy generation from other non-renewable polluting sources. Wind energy is guaranteed to be placed on the grid in an amount equal to your purchase size, thereby matching you power consumption (and Catamount's) with clean, renewable wind energy generation.
