New England Wind Fund

To add more wind to the New England grid than the market can do alone. Since 2002, contributors have made tax-deductible donations to the Fund. We spend at least $100,000 each year to purchase 2.5 million kilowatt-hours of wind power – the equivalent of what it takes to power 357 homes.

Each $50 contribution will be spent on enough wind to power the average household for nearly 6 weeks!

Your contribution helps ensure that Green Energy Consumers can commit to funding more wind turbines for years to come. Read more about New England Wind Fund.

Green Powered is a program designed to support local renewable energy development. If you're a member, we buy renewable energy to match the kilowatt-hours that you use, spending your matching contributions immediately on renewable energy certificates. In order to make the biggest impact for developers, however, we make long-term commitments to wind projects to buy those certificates not only now, but in the future.

Unlike Green Powered, the funds in New England Wind Fund can be held for a rainy day, ensuring that we can honor these vital financial commitments in the future, even if membership in the other programs declines. New England Wind Fund creates an enormous amount of helpful financial leverage for Green Energy Consumers.

Whether you're a member or not, making a contribution to the Fund is another great thing you can do for wind.

New England Wind Fund has been around since 2002, and in recent years has boosted our annual investment in wind power by $100,000. Your contributions will help support these turbines and brand new turbines too. Learn more about the turbines in Green Energy Consumers’s portfolio below.
