NStar Offers Customers Wind Power
If you're willing to pay a premium for your power, NStar is offering customers the ability to power their homes with environmentally-friendly wind power, The Boston Globe reported May 1, 2008.
Consumers will have a choice between having half or all of their power originated from wind farms.
Customers who opt for the green power will pay $4.25 a month for half their electricity from wind farms and $7.25, if they buy all their electricity from wind power. The program, called NStar Green, is the first of its kind for a Massachusetts utility.
"NStar, with 1.1 million electric customers in Eastern and Central Massachusetts, proposed the program last summer. The Boston utility signed 10-year contracts with two wind farms to buy a total of 60 megawatts, enough to power about 60,000 homes."
The wind farms are located in Maine and upstate New York.
