Thank you for your patience.
With Indiana Michigan Power's GoGreen Program, you can voluntarily support green energy for less than 1 cent per kilowatt hour (kWh).
You can commit to 10% to 100% of your monthly kWh usage in 10% increments. If you are a typical residential customer who uses 1,000 kWh per month here is how it would look if you participated at 10%, 50%, or 100%:

In 2022, we generated more than 80% of our energy from emission-free sources, including solar, wind, hydro and the Cook Nuclear Plant, and our energy efficiency programs help reduce customers’ energy use, which also lowers demand for generation of electricity. I&M and our parent company, American Electric Power, aim to achieve net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.
GoGreen is a voluntary renewable energy program that provides Michigan residential customers the opportunity to support wind and solar energy at a level beyond the renewable energy you already receive from I&M's generation fleet.
GoGreen includes a simple, on-bill tariff option to support renewable energy certificates (RECs) from I&M's solar and hydro generation assets and wind procurement. These RECs represent the renewable energy attributes of the power I&M provides to the grid and directly lower your carbon footprint.
GoGreen is a simple, easy and cost-effective way to connect with your friends, family and neighbors on your commitment to sustainability and renewable energy, especially for customers where installing solar panels or wind turbines on your own property may not be feasible or cost-effective.
GoGreen is a voluntary, and if you choose to participate, the level of participation is your choice. Participation can be from 10 percent to 100 percent of your monthly kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy use, in increments of 10 percent.
Your support for RECs is based on your level of participation will be billed monthly on a per kWh basis as an additional line item on your bill. I&M then manages the administrative REC ownership documentation activities annually on your behalf.
Based on I&M's current state-approved tariff, the RECs you support in Michigan starting in May 2022 will now cost $0.00356/kWh. This rate, while not shown on your monthly bill, is the difference between the Surcharge rate of $0.01877/kWh less the Renewable Energy credit rate of $0.01521/kWh. This will appear on your monthly bill as two lines items.
The table below shows annual costs for GoGreen participation based on a typical household energy use of 1,000 kWh per month across a range of participation options.
The RECs in the GoGreen program come from renewable energy generation at I&M's company owned-and-operated solar and hydro generation plants in Indiana, and Michigan, respectively, and from wind power we purchase from four Indiana wind generation plants.
Beyond demonstrating your personal commitment to sustainability and renewable energy, the net proceeds from your participation helps I&M reduce renewable energy surcharge costs for all Michigan customers. Also, your support for the RECs directly lowers your personal carbon footprint.
No. Due to the nature of the power grid, it is impossible to track which electrons used at your home were generated by any one particular renewable energy generation plant. This is why RECs were created and your RECs legally represent the environmental and renewable energy attributes of each kWh of renewable power we provided to the grid.
