What is EnviroWatts?

Envirowatts are sold in 100-kilowatt-hour blocks for a $2 investment. The program is open to both residential and business members. Consumers select the number of blocks to purchase.

The EnviroWatts commitment appears as a separate line item on the monthly electric bill. To keep administrative costs to a minimum, South Central Power encourages a one-year commitment to the program, but will not charge additional fees should that not be possible.

Each $2 block supports research and development of renewable energy sources for Ohio's electric cooperatives not the actual purchase of energy generated using renewable resources. A portion of the cost does support a biomass facility in northern Kentucky.
