Greensburg, PA, August 12, 2008 -- Allegheny Power, the electric delivery subsidiary of Allegheny Energy Inc., announced that the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission has approved Allegheny's request to offer a voluntary wind energy program to its electric customers in the state.
In conjunction with its Watt Watchers campaign, Allegheny has partnered with Community Energy Inc., a wind energy developer, to implement and market the program. The program allows residential, commercial and industrial customers the option to pay an additional charge to purchase wind energy credits. The credits can be purchased in blocks of 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh), which will begin at $2.50 per block. Each block purchased represents an equal amount of wind energy that was generated and placed onto the power grid.
Customers will receive informational inserts and enrollment forms with their electric bills.
