What is Green Power Switch?

Green Power Switch is a renewable energy initiative that offers consumers in the Tennessee Valley a choice in the type of power they buy.  TVA and local public power companies, working in cooperation with the environmental community, developed Green Power Switch as a way to bring green power — electricity that's generated by cleaner, renewable resources such as solar, wind, and methane gases — to Valley consumers.

How much does Green Power Switch cost?

Green Power Switch is sold to residential consumers in 150-kilowatt-hour blocks (about 12 percent of a typical household's monthly energy use).  Each block adds $4 to the customer's monthly power bill.  Consumers can buy as many blocks as they like.  Green Power Switch is also marketed to commercial and industrial consumers, who are asked to buy blocks based on the amount of energy they use.

Power for the Green Power Switch program comes from TVA's Generation Partners(sm) program. Generation Partners supports homeowners and businesses that install small-scale renewable generating resources — solar panels or wind turbines, for example — on their property. Participants defray the cost of their renewable systems and lower their monthly energy bills through the revenue they receive from the sale of the green power.
