Purchase a Renewable Energy Product from Your Local Utility
You can find information here about purchasing wind energy directly from NYSEG, your local electric utility. While it does incur a small additional monthly charge, it does ensure that your utility purchases and delivers more renewable energy to you and other customers throughout its service territory.

NYS Power to Choose The NYS Power to Choose website contains more information about how to purchase your electricity supply through a third-party ESCO (energy service company). In some cases, these companies can offer you more competitive supply rates and renewable energy than purchasing supply directly from your utility. Please note that your electricity will continue to be delivered by NYSEG.
