CleanChoice Energy Launches 100% New York Wind Plan for Residents and Businesses

NEW YORK, Aug. 2, 2018 — CleanChoice Energy, a renewable energy company that provides 100% clean electricity to customers across the country, has launched CleanChoice Energy 100% New York Wind Plan for New York residents and businesses. The new service allows New Yorkers to help protect the state’s clean air and water by directly supporting local wind projects—wind energy allowed New York to avoid nearly 2 million metric tons of carbon pollution last year. Earlier this year, CleanChoice found that 81% of New York residents want the freedom to choose clean energy.

“We’re excited to be offering 100% local wind for New Yorkers. The state has a growing and vibrant wind industry, and with this New Yorkers can support local jobs and help reduce pollution,” said Tom Matzzie, CEO of CleanChoice Energy. “CleanChoice Energy makes it easy to support wind energy without a big upfront investment—instead New Yorkers can sign up online and promote local wind in just a few minutes.”

Supporting New York wind encourages local investment and supports local jobs. The state’s growing wind industry employs more than 1,000 workers and has contributed nearly $4 billion in investment. Additionally, last year, Governor Cuomo released the first in the nation ‘OffShore Wind Master Plan’ and committed to developing up to 2,400 MW of offshore wind by 2030.

As one of the first retail energy providers offering only 100 percent renewable energy products to American homes and businesses, CleanChoice Energy has made it as easy as possible for people to choose clean energy as-a-service instead of as a home construction project. The company has served more than 1 billion kilowatts of clean energy to customers in nine states since 2013.
