At Clean Currents, we pride ourselves on our environmental accomplishments and our exclusive focus on green energy.  We were founded in 2005 by Maryland entrepreneurs who had a vision of creating a top-notch green energy company committed to creating a cleaner, greener environment. Since then, Clean Currents has grown into the Mid-Atlantic's leading, independent green energy company.  Clean Currents has won numerous awards, and is a certified green business and a certified B Corporation.

Clean Currents lives by the moniker of "A For-Profit Company with a Non-Profit Mission."  By this we mean that we live and breathe green every day. It is not just a marketing ploy for us.  We have built a vibrant green community in the area (numbering over 8,000), of which our "Green Neighborhood Challenge " is the cornerstone. We are very active in local and regional politics; lobbying for tougher environmental standards and improved climate and renewable energy legislation. We only offer green products (50% wind or 100% wind power) whereas other suppliers simply dabble in clean energy while still selling carbon-sourced, polluting power. Our residential wind power rate is also fixed rather than variable. All you have to do is look at the home mortgage crisis to learn that fixed rates are much safer and easier to account for than variable rates. In short, Clean Currents strives to provide the best quality and value for our customers. We are more than a clean energy company - we are a leader in the green revolution.

Will I lose power if the wind turbines stop spinning?

No! When you switch your electric supply to Clean Currents, the electricity that powers your home will still be delivered through the grid. This means that there is NO change to the dependability of power to your house.  Click HERE to see where Clean Currents purchases wind power. 

Who will bill me?

You will continue to receive ONE bill from your local utility.  But instead of being charged your local utility's electric rate, you will be charged the Clean Currents wind power rate.  You will see "Clean Currents" noted on your bill.

What happens if I move in the middle of my contract?

If you move in the middle of the contract, you will NOT face any penalty. You cannot, however, re-enroll at your new property under your old plan.  If you choose to enroll at your new property, you will be required to sign-up as a new customer.

What is the penalty if I cancel my contract?

There will be an early termination fee of $150.  Fee is waived if cancellation is due to customer change of residence.

Where are the wind farms that Clean Currents gets its wind energy from?

Clean Currents purchases both locally produced wind power (within the PJM grid) as well as wind power sourced from wind farms across the United States.

What are RECs?

A REC stands for "Renewable Energy Certificate". RECs were created by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as tools to track clean energy being placed on the grid. One REC is equal to the amount of 1,000 KWh of renewable energy produced. When a clean energy generator such as a wind farm produces electricity, it places that electricity onto the regional electric grid. The electric grid collects electricity from all power producing sources (coal, oil, natural gas, wind, nuclear, hydro, solar, geothermal, etc.) Once power is placed onto the grid it becomes indistinguishable from power from other sources. This aggregated electricity is then transmitted through wires to homes and businesses.  Read more about RECs HERE

"REC purchasing is the simplest way for organizations and institutions to affect the United States' electricity generation mix at a national scale."
- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

How can I be assured that switching to Clean Currents wind power really makes a difference?

Clean Currents is the only energy company in the region that only offers Green-e Energy certified wind power.  Both our Neighborhood Wind™ and National Wind RECs are Green-e Energy certified.  Green-e is the nation's leading independent certification and verification program for renewable energy and greenhouse gas emission reductions in the retail market.  This ensures that all Clean Currents wind power products are legitimate, traceable, and not double counted - meaning that you are directly helping to increase the demand and share of renewable wind power in our nation's energy mix. 

Is switching to Clean Currents all I need to do to help the environment?

While switching to wind power through Clean Currents is a great first step, there are many other actions you can take to decrease your impact on the earth. You can start by reducing your total carbon footprint by driving less/getting a more fuel efficient vehicle, buying locally grown food, and reducing your home’s energy use. It’s also important to contact your elected officials and urge them to support progressive pro-environment legislation. We are not going to solve global warming by small deeds alone. We need to change our laws at all levels of government ;and adopt a workable international agreement. Finally, encourage the businesses where you work or shop to use clean energy and be a part of the solution.
