              Green Energy Consumers only sources from New England renewable energy generators. When you make the switch to green electricity through Green Energy Consumers' Green Powered or through a Community Choice Electricity program  that works with us, you are supporting New England renewable energy projects (Massachusetts Class 1 or Rhode Island "new" ). This approach ensures that your purchase is shifting our local power grid to clean sources, pushing off the need for fossil fuels.
