RG&E offers Wind Energy to customers who want to help our environment. When you purchase Wind Energy credits, wind-generated electricity is delivered to the New York power grid on your behalf, reducing the need for energy produced from other resources. Your purchase helps the environment and makes our communities even better places to live and work.
Our Smart Savings Rewards programs offer incentives to residential and small business customers when they reduce electricity use during times of peak summer electricity demand. We have programs that will benefit your home or business and help alleviate the strain on New York State’s power supply.
