The company was founded with the mission to change the way power is made and remains the only provider in the nation that’s dedicated to this mission. Green Mountain offers New York City residents the opportunity to choose Pollution Freesm electricity, made from 100% renewable New York wind and water sources.
Since the company’s inception, Green Mountain customers have avoided 11.3 billion pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which is equivalent to planting over 478 million trees or taking all the taxis in New York City off the road for 14 years!
