How the Green Power Program Works |
By purchasing a "Green Light Pact" , you are partnering with
Oakville Hydro Energy Services Inc. to contribute to a cleaner
environment. How?
- By deciding that a specific amount of electricity will come
from renewable energy sources rather than the harmful burning
of fossil fuels;
- By asking us to ensure this Green Power is injected into
Ontario's electricity grid;
- By contributing to the building of future Green Power generating
facilities;
- By helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Each "Green Light Pact" is equivalent to 1000 kWh of Green Power
being generated and injected into the Ontario electricity grid,
and helping to displace the generation of 1000 kWh of electricity
from the burning of fossil fuels. This is equivalent to approximately
a month of electricity used by a typical home and benefits the
environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Anyone in Ontario can purchase a "Green Light Pact" . The program
is completely separate from your current electricity arrangements,
usage and payment. You deal directly with Oakville Hydro Energy
Services Inc. In fact, you don't even have to be receiving a
hydro bill to purchase a Pact, and you can even buy one as a
gift for the family member or friend who has everything.
In order to purchase a "Green Light Pact" , please complete
the "Sign Up" form and
mail it, along with a cheque, to Oakville Hydro Energy Services
Inc. You can purchase either a full "Green Light Pact" for $63.60
(plus GST) equivalent to 1000 kWh/year, or a half "Green Light
Pact" for $31.80 (plus GST) equivalent to 500 kWh/year. It is
an annual payment and you may buy any number of Pacts in any
combination you wish. Once Oakville Hydro Energy Services Inc.
receives your completed form and payment, we will write back
confirming the number of Pacts and kWh to be generated and injected
into Ontario's electricity grid on your behalf.
Your purchase gives you the power to be green - to decide that
a specific amount of electricity will come from renewable energy
sources.
Give the "Green Light" to
a cleaner environment!
