Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I have to put up a windmill on my building or in the backyard to get wind power_
A: No, the energy is generated at Pennsylvania wind farms and is transferred to the energy grid that services your area. A wind power purchase means an increase in the percentage of clean, renewable wind energy delivered to the total pool of resources.

Q: Will there be a blackout if the wind is not blowing_
A: No, wind energy is a part of the total energy grid serving your electric needs. The grid will continue to transfer energy without interruption of service.

Q: Why does it cost more for wind energy_
A: You are helping to pay for the development of high tech wind farms. Recently, significant technology advances have brought down the cost of wind energy to 4 to 8 cents per kilowatt hour, which is competitive with fossil fuels and nuclear power. The price will continue to become even more competitive as more wind farms are developed and the price of fossil fuels increase.
