CleanChoice Energy

CleanChoice Energy at 1055 Thomas Jefferson Street NW Suite 650 is a clean energy company in Georgetown’s waterfront commercial building, providing the renewable electricity service that the Georgetown household and the Georgetown business uses to substitute the conventional grid electricity with the wind and the solar power that the mid-Atlantic clean energy market supplies. CleanChoice Energy’s business model allows the Georgetown electricity customer to choose the source of the electricity that the customer pays for without changing the electricity delivery infrastructure: the Pepco grid continues to deliver the electrons to the Georgetown address while CleanChoice Energy certifies that the equivalent amount of electricity has been added to the grid by the wind and the solar generation facilities that CleanChoice contracts with.

The Georgetown household or business that enrolls in the CleanChoice Energy program receives the same electricity service through the same Pepco grid but pays for the clean energy attribute of the wind and solar electricity that is generated and fed into the regional grid to match the customer’s consumption. The renewable energy certificate system that the CleanChoice program uses verifies the clean energy generation and the customer’s support of the renewable electricity source.

The Georgetown professional community’s environmental awareness and the Georgetown resident’s willingness to pay a premium for the environmentally beneficial product makes the Georgetown customer one of the natural markets for the clean energy choice program. The Georgetown homeowner who has already invested in the energy efficiency upgrade, the insulation improvement, and the LED lighting conversion uses the CleanChoice Energy enrollment as the next step in the reduction of the residential carbon footprint that the Georgetown household’s electricity consumption contributes to.

Hours run Monday through Friday at the Thomas Jefferson Street waterfront office. The CleanChoice Energy enrollment process for the Georgetown electricity customer begins with the selection of the clean energy plan that matches the Georgetown household or business’s electricity usage and the budget for the renewable energy premium. The Georgetown customer who enrolls in the CleanChoice program continues to receive and pay the monthly Pepco electricity bill but pays the CleanChoice Energy premium that funds the renewable energy certificate purchases that certify the wind and solar electricity generation.

The Georgetown professional community’s interest in the corporate renewable energy commitment, which includes the renewable energy certificate purchase that the corporate sustainability report documents, creates the commercial customer market for the CleanChoice Energy program alongside the residential Georgetown customer. The Georgetown business that commits to the renewable energy purchase through the CleanChoice program can report the clean energy commitment in the corporate sustainability communication that the Georgetown business’s stakeholders increasingly expect. Hours run Monday through Friday at the Thomas Jefferson Street office. CleanChoice Energy at 1055 Thomas Jefferson Street NW Suite 650 Georgetown is open Monday through Friday. The Georgetown residential and commercial customer who enrolls in the CleanChoice Energy program uses the renewable electricity commitment as part of the household or the business environmental management alongside the other sustainability measures.
