Thank you for your patience.
By participating in the GoGreen Local Program, you can voluntarily support green energy for less than 1 cent per kilowatt hour (kWh) with Indiana Michigan Power. You can choose to commit between 10% and 100% of your monthly kWh usage in increments of 10%. For a typical residential customer using 1,000 kWh per month, here’s how the costs break down for 10%, 50%, and 100% participation:

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 customers the opportunity to support wind, solar and hydro energy resources 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 energy produced by I&M's existing or contracted renewable resources.
GoGreen offers a straightforward, convenient, and affordable way to demonstrate your commitment to sustainability and renewable energy alongside your friends, family, and neighbors. This is particularly beneficial for customers for whom installing solar panels or wind turbines on their property may not be practical or financially viable.
Based on I&M's current state-approved tariff, the RECs you support in Michigan will cost $0.00377/kWh. This rate, while not shown on your monthly bill, is the difference between the GoGreen Local Surcharge rate of $0.01906/kWh less the GoGreen Local credit rate of $0.01529/kWh. This will appear on your monthly bill as two line items.
The table below shows the annual cost for GoGreen Local participation based on a commercial facility's energy use of 100,000 kWh per year across a range of participation options.
GoGreen is a voluntary program, and you have the choice to determine your level of participation. You can choose to participate from 10% to 100% of your monthly kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy usage, in increments of 10%.
Your support for Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) will be billed monthly based on your participation level, appearing as an additional line item on your bill. Indiana Michigan Power will handle the annual administrative tasks related to REC ownership documentation on your behalf.
The RECs in the GoGreen Local program come from I&M’s existing solar, wind, or hydro renewable generation resources.
Beyond demonstrating your organization's commitment to sustainability and renewable energy, the net of administrative fees, will be used to offset the costs of the Power Supply Cost Recovery Rider for all Michigan customers. Also, your support for the RECs directly lowers your organization’s carbon footprint.
No. Due to the nature of the power grid, it is impossible to track which electrons used at your business 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.
To help understand how Renewable Energy Certificates help support green power, see this video from the U.S. EPA.
GoGreen Custom Agreement is available to customers taking service under the Company’s LP and CS-IRP tariffs, or multiple GS and/ or LGS tariff with common ownership under a single parent company that can aggregate multiple accounts to exceed 1,000 kW monthly peak demand over a 12-month average. For businesses that want support renewable energy and meet your company's sustainability/green energy goals can work with I&M to develop a custom solution that meets your needs.
To explore your needs, goals and options, please E-mail us at GoGreen@aep.com.
In addition to the GoGreen Local and GoGreen Custom Agreement in 2025 we will be introducing the GoGreen Term and GoGreen Term Plus Options. Please see the below table for a summary of each option.
