Energy for Tomorrow ^®

Overview

Our Energy for Tomorrow renewable energy program makes it easy for you to make a difference in the environment by increasing electricity production from energy sources such as wind, water, solar and landfill gas. As a We Energies electric customer, you can participate in this voluntary program that decreases use of power plants fueled by coal and natural gas, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

How it works

When you sign up at the 25, 50 or 100 percent level, we produce or purchase renewable energy to match that percentage of your electric usage, which replaces equal amounts of electric generation from traditional sources. Participation does not impact electric service reliability.

Because renewable energy costs more to produce than energy generated from traditional sources, the price is slightly higher.

The premium is used to produce or purchase the renewable energy and to enroll new participants. The chart at right shows the cost of the premium for an average We Energies customer using 750 kilowatt-hours a month. Your actual monthly charge will vary based on your usage.

Program description

Energy for Tomorrow renewable energy program is a tariffed rate rider offered to We Energies electric customers in Wisconsin and Michigan. The tariffs are regulated by the public service commission in the state where you receive service. All changes to these tariffs must be submitted to and approved by the applicable state laws and regulatory policies of the appropriate state public service commission. Notification of changes to Energy for Tomorrow prices will follow the regulations set forth by the appropriate state public service commission.

Customers enrolled in the Energy for Tomorrow program receive a reduction in their Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA) based on their level on participation. A customer enrolled at 100 percent pays no fuel-cost adjustment, enrollment at 50 percent receives a 50 percent reduction and a customer signed up at the 25 percent level has their FCA charge lowered by 25 percent.

The Energy for Tomorrow charge will be on your We Energies energy bill. The charge will be labeled, showing your level of participation and the total charge for the billing period. It takes one or two billing periods to activate your participation in Energy for Tomorrow.

Residential and small business customers may sign up, change level of participation and withdraw from the Energy for Tomorrow renewable energy program at any time by notifying We Energies at 800-242-9137. There is no fee to withdraw or change level of participation.
