Take Boone Electric Cooperative’s renewable energy program for a test drive! In 2017, roughly 20% percent of the energy used to power BEC homes and businesses came from wind and hydro power. But some members want to increase their use of renewables even more. Yes, buying more wind from our Renewable Choice program or solar from our Community Solar farm does cost more, but the monthly addition is comparative to lunch out with friends or a few cups of premium coffee.
BEC’s Renewable Choice Calculator lets you see first-hand how little Renewable Energy can cost. The calculator works two ways: find the Renewable Energy combination that works with your budget or use the wind blocks and solar panels to help you reach the percentage of Renewable Energy you hope to consume.
