The City of Palo Alto Utilities is pleased to offer its commercial and industrial customers the opportunity to purchase renewable energy.

Supporting renewable energy through PaloAltoGreen is an easy way for businesses to achieve dramatic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and earn valuable community recognition.

Participation in PaloAltoGreen is easy and affordable. There are no major capital expenditures and you can cancel your enrollment at any time. The cost for large businesses (E4 & E7 rate classes) is $15 per 1,000 kilowatt-hour block of renewable energy. Small businesses (E2 rate class) can purchase renewable energy for 100% of their usage at the cost of an additional 1.5 cents per kWh.

PaloAltoGreen businesses can also join the PaloAltoGreen Team. The Team Card, as it’s commonly known, is a discount program that promotes your business to PaloAltoGreen residential customers – over 22% of Palo Altans. The PaloAltoGreen Team is free to join and will not add any charge to your utility bill.

The PaloAltoGreen supply is 2.5% solar from Palo Alto and 97.5% wind from Oregon and Montana.

To learn more about PaloAltoGreen and the local and national and recognition that can accompany a renewable energy purchase, contact Andrea Hart, PaloAltoGreen program manager, at (650) 329-2434, or email PaloAltoGreen@cityofpaloalto.org Small businesses (E2 rate class) can sign up using our online enrollment form.
