The Fayetteville Public Works Commission voted Wednesday to make the NC GreenPower program available to its customers beginning April 1, 2004.

Through this voluntary program, customers can purchase blocks of green power (cleaner energy generated through renewable energy resources such as wind, solar and organic matter). A customer's tax-deductible contribution adds that much more green power to North Carolina's power supply resulting in a healthier environment. Through NC GreenPower, all renewable energy resources used are located in our state.

NC GreenPower is an independent, nonprofit organization established to improve North Carolina's environment through voluntary contributions toward renewable energy. A landmark program approved by the N.C. Utilities Commission, NC GreenPower is the first statewide green energy program in the nation run by a non-profit organization and supported by all of the state's utilities.

PWC joins nine other North Carolina Municipal Electric Systems as well as Progress Energy, Duke Energy and the North Carolina Electric Cooperatives in this commitment to providing cleaner energy for North Carolina.

"This program is a significant step forward for our customers and our environment, " said Wilson Lacy, PWC Chairman of the Board. "It demonstrates our commitment to providing cleaner energy that benefits everyone and gives us all the opportunity to improve our air quality and quality of life. "

For each $4 monthly investment made to NC GreenPower, 100 kilowatt hours (kWh) of green power will be added to the North Carolina power grid. Over a year, a customer's investment to add green energy to our power supply will have the same impact of not driving a car for 74 days or of planting 150 full-grown trees.
