</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 class="">

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. The article mentioned Arcadia Power as a </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(29, 33, 41); font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;" class="">way to increase the renewable portion. 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 class="">
<br class="">
So again, is there any interest in LCUUC switching over to Arcadia, in particular paying the surcharge to be 100% renewable?<br class="">
And do any of you have any experience with Arcadia, or can recommend someone who has?<br class="">
