WGES can deliver wind power by bundling electrical service with Wind Energy Credits from regional wind farms. The Wind energy credits or renewable energy credits (RECs) assign the environmental benefits of the wind power, to you, the purchaser. Wind power is currently costing 25 to 35% more than conventional power, but comes with the benefits of reducing your carbon footprint and improving the local air quality.

WGES’s CleanStepsSM WindPower costs can be higher or lower than the standard utility rate, depending upon the electricity market. However, currently, generation of electricity from wind is more expensive than energy from traditional sources.
