We did a few years ago but the price went way down and the purchaser/broker became unreliable in sending us our checks, so I don't bother with it any more. But maybe the price of RECs has gone up? Do you know anything about this?<br>Gerry<br><br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: dbriley105--- via Lekooks <lekooks@lekook.org><br>To: gerflak <gerflak@aol.com>; lekooks <lekooks@lekook.org><br>Cc: ataivalkoski <ataivalkoski@wi.rr.com><br>Sent: Fri, Apr 27, 2018 6:12 am<br>Subject: Re: [Lekooks] Renewable electricity at LCUUC<br><br></div>

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 <a href="https://www.arcadiapower.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.arcadiapower.com/</a>. 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. 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;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">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>
<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>
