When you buy Blue Sky, you help:

• influence the future of energy production
• lower our dependence on fossil fuels, so our energy supply becomes more self-sufficient
• encourage the development of new renewable energy in our region, which benefits local economies 
• reduce air pollution
• preserve the environment and conserve resources for future generations

How does the Blue Sky program work?

• You buy clean, wind energy in 100 kilowatt-hour (kwh) increments, called blocks, for just $1.95 more per block per month.
• Pacific Power buys renewable energy certificates on your behalf equal to your Blue Sky purchase and helps develop small-scale renewable projects in the communities we serve.
• You can buy as many blocks as you’d like. Ten blocks per month covers about 100 percent of an average home’s electricity use. 
• Participation is voluntary. You can cancel your enrollment anytime by calling us at 1-800-769-3717.
• Get more details in our frequently asked questions.

Real benefits now and for the future
Buying one 100-kwh block of Blue Sky each month for a year is as good for the environment as planting nearly 1/2 acre of trees or not driving a car for 2,500 miles!*

We're doing our part, too
In addition to offering the Blue Sky program, Pacific Power also generates and purchases renewable power from regional facilities for all customers as part of our resource mix. By the end of 2008, our company will either own or purchase enough renewable energy to supply electricity to more than 330,000 average homes! Learn more about our environmental commitment.

Other information on renewable energy generation

• Net metering - an option for customers interested in generating their own renewable energy
• Photovoltaics - solar energy
  

* Pacific Power purchases the exclusive right to claim all of the benefits of electricity produced by renewable energy power plants in the exact amount of Blue Sky purchases projected over a 12-month period. The environmental benefit figures listed on the Web site are calculated using that 12-month period and the annual average of the environmental effects of the company’s owned or controlled electric system generation resources as of 2006. These effects are determined by continuous emissions monitoring of company facilities, and data provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other sources. The average may change as the company acquires or changes its system generation resources. Some of the funds from your Blue Sky Block purchase may support the construction of new renewable resources in the region, such as solar panels on community facilities that add more renewable energy to the system and help Blue Sky customers make an even bigger difference. Participation in the Blue Sky program is optional, and you may change or cancel your enrollment at any time. Credit criteria apply.
