Apparently, they can arrange to supply 50% or 100% of your electricity from renewable sources, simply by signing up with them online. See the website https://www.arcadiapower.com/. This sounds almost too good to be true;<strong> do any of you have any experience with Arcadia Power, or know anyone who has?<br><br></strong>I put this on the LCUUC Facebook page yesterday, but received no response. Either nobody read it, or understood it, or don't care. In the last case, I guess we shouldn't consider it.<br><br>We have our solar PV system which delivers 2/3 of our electricity consumption to the WE Energies grid, but the energy we receive from the grid via WE Energies is only 10% renewable and 90% from fossil fuels.

Apparently the way it works is that the customer pays their utility bill to Arcadia, which claims to provide 50% (or 100% for a $0.015 / khw surcharge), and pays the balance owed to the WE Energies. Apparently, for no surcharge, Arcadia would provide 50% renewable electricity to us; if this is actually 1/3 of our electricity, our total renewable percentage, which is now about 70%, would be about 83%. If we paid the surcharge, which would amount to around $400 per year for us, LCUUC would be 100% renewable.<br><br>So again, is there any interest in LCUUC switching over to Arcadia, in particular paying the surcharge to be 100% renewable?<br>And do any of you have any experience with Arcadia, or can recommend someone who has?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Gerry Flakas<br><br></span></span></span></div>
