The City of Oak Ridge Electric Department offers different options for generating your own power, or purchasing green power.

GREEN POWER SWITCH
Green Power Switch allows you to purchase renewable energy generated in the Tennessee Valley for as little as $4 more on your monthly bill. No contracts and no installation—just an additional charge on your monthly electric bill. You can support wind, solar and biogas renewable resources, and breathe a little easier knowing you’re taking positive action to reduce your carbon footprint. Each $4 block purchased ensures that 150 kilowatt-hours of your electricity consumption is renewable. That’s pennies a day to keep you in clean, green style.TVA will be modifying the GREEN POWER SWITCH program.
Changes will take place as of June 1st, 2020. We will post more information when available.
