AEP Ohio customers now have the opportunity to go green

AEP Ohio, a unit of American Electric Power, is now offering a program that makes it easy for customers to support renewable resources. The Green Pricing Option program helps customers make a difference in the environment by supporting the company’s purchase of renewable energy certificates (RECs) that come from renewable sources of electric power generation, such as wind, solar and landfill gas.

AEP Ohio recently acquired more than 50,000 RECs and rebundled them into Green Product blocks. Each block costs $0.70 and is equivalent to 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of renewable electricity. Customers must agree to purchase at least two blocks of the Green Product. Customers may participate through a one-time purchase, or establish an automatic monthly purchase agreement.

When customers purchase the Green Product blocks, they are supporting AEP Ohio’s acquisition of RECs. Their purchase will take place in addition to their regular monthly electric bill. They will not receive any additional electricity from their purchase of the Green Product; however, they are helping to sustain a market for the environmental attributes of renewable power generation.

Customers can enroll in the Green Pricing Option today by calling AEP Ohio’s 24- hour Customer Solution Center toll–free at 1-800-277-2177, or by visiting the company’s Web site at www.aepohio.com.
