Renewable Energy

A future power source is growing in fields throughout the southeast.

As part of our ongoing efforts to unearth more innovative and environmentally friendly ways to generate electricity, we've added biomass to our fuel mix through Renewable Energy.

Renewable Energy:

• Supports regional agriculture by using domestically grown switchgrass as its primary fuel source.
• Other alternative energy sources will be added to our fuel mix as the demand for renewable energy increases in the future.
• Helps reduce emissions from fossil fuels.
• Two 1,000-pound bales of switchgrass generate 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity - enough to power an average home for a month.
• 50 kilowatt-hour blocks generated from renewable sources can be purchased by residential customers for an additional $2.25 a month.
• A $2.25 per month premium will replace 5% of the average residential customers energy usage with renewable energy on the Alabama Power Company grid.
