*Good news! Providence is making sure you can choose 100% green electricity
for an affordable price.*

Hi Friend,

The City of Providence has launched Providence Community Electricity,
<https://info.greenenergyconsumers.org/e3t/Ctc/IZ+113/c1GjT04/VVrQtk45YN8pW2GtscG2-ncgHW5VG-2S4Y6LgzN5GS5S33q3npV1-WJV7CgNRRN92XzypgzpGyW1KswwQ61XBzdW2MHbYr3mGrDyVcKyzT91MxPFW8CRqS28XvhF4W84CJC59dB2RpW7D459p5srZ_5W5KGWMX4Lb-YNW53sBQf3XZBkFN5fZfWM-tXz3VKFNn48B4wWbW6MF4517qGg5PW97wVZ03t-psgW8MGD995GFrM_W7P0HZg58Wcx1N6Jtzn0wKkpxW7XYWSj5hGp2dW97SG3z1sVL7qW5_2RkL6YDtTfW3Kd24V11LKBWW6FVL-h1Fg_XtW5FV9DJ6kcWLs3fZk1>
designed to offer affordable rates and 5% more renewable energy than
required by state law to all Providence residents and businesses. (We're

.)

The program goes into effect on May 1st, 2023. Most residents will be
automatically enrolled, but because you are a Green Powered/GreenUp member,
you will not. Here are your options!

We recommend you enroll in Providence 100 – it's the greenest option for
the best price.

Even though you may have received a letter stating you would be enrolled, you
will *not* be automatically enrolled in Providence Community Electricity. This
is because you participate our Green Powered program via Rhode Island
Energy's GreenUp.

We recommend that you switch to Providence's 100% green option. It is more
affordable than Rhode Island Energy's Last Resort Service + GreenUp, and
still includes new renewable energy from Green Energy Consumers Alliance.

If you switch to Providence's program:

   - Nothing about how you pay your electric bill will change. You will
   still receive and pay the bill through Rhode Island Energy.
   - Your participation in Green Powered/GreenUp will automatically be
   cancelled.
   - You will still support new Rhode Island renewable energy sources.

If you do nothing:

   - You will not be enrolled in Providence Community Electricity.
   - You will continue to receive green electricity through Green
   Powered/GreenUp.
