Choose renewable. Choose local. Choose RMLD’s Renewable Choice Program
Looking for a meaningful way to reduce your carbon footprint and support clean energy close to home? RMLD’s Renewable Choice program lets customers voluntarily increase the amount of renewable, non-carbon energy powering their home or business - going above the standard energy mix delivered each year.
When you enroll, RMLD retires additional Massachusetts Class I renewable energy certificates on your behalf. These certificates directly support New England renewable projects and help accelerate the transition to a cleaner regional grid.
How it works
Participants select a renewable energy level - 75% or 100% renewable/non-carbon - and pay a small monthly charge based on electricity usage. That additional support ensures more clean power is sourced to meet your energy needs.
