JOIN LA GREEN
Renewable Power for Los Alamos
Los Alamos DPU customers can support a cleaner and greener New Mexico by joining LA GREEN - the renewable energy program enabling your purchase of electric energy generated from a renewable source such as wind, solar and qualifying hydroelectric plants.
We invite you to evaluate this option for as little as $1.80 per month. Here's how it works.
Rates
Residential and Small Commercial Customers can join in one of two ways: blocks or at the 90 perent level.
-
Purchase LA GREEN in “blocks” of 100 kilowatt-hours per month for a premium of $1.80 over the existing rate.
-
The average customer will be able to purchase up to three or four blocks,
-
The number of blocks purchased cannot exceed 90% of your minimum monthly usage from the previous 12 months,
-
Your purchase maximum, however, will be based on your usage.
-
Purchase 90% of your monthly electric consumption at 1.8 cents per kilowatt-hour over the existing rate. This means that the additional monthly billing amount for LA GREEN would fluctuate based on your actual usage.
Large Commercial Customers have several ways to join, at various percentage levels.
- Purchase LA GREEN at 1.8 cents per kilowatt-hour over the existing rate at a level of your choice: 1 percent, 2 percent, 3 percent, 5 percent, 10 percent, 50 percent or 90 percent of your monthly usage. The additional monthly billing amount for LA GREEN would fluctuate based on your actual usage.
