One of the privileges of being an ECE member is tapping into some unique renewable energy sources - like wind power. Thanks to a cooperative effort between Great River Energy and member distribution co-ops like ECE, we generate electricity from the wind.

Buy wind power
You can buy wind energy in blocks of 100-kWh blocks a month at a special rate of $.51 per block above the regular rate. Purchase one block or enough blocks to meet your normal monthly electricity usage (the average home uses 1,300 kWh of electricity a month).

Wind energy has a positive impact on the environment because it reduces the consumption of non-renewable resources.

For example:
Buying two blocks of wind energy each month for one year equals driving your car 6,000 fewer miles or planting an acre of trees.
