The EnviroWatts Program is offered to LaGrange County REMC members in conjunction with our power supplier, Wabash Valley Power. The program is strictly voluntary and gives members the opportunity to purchase ‘green’ energy generated from renewable, environmentally preferred sources.
EnviroWatts are sold to residential members at the rate of 1 cent for the first 500 kWh used each month. This is a maximum of $5 per month. If only 300 kWhs are used, it will cost only $3 that month for the EnviroWatts.
If you would like to sign up to purchase your first 500 kWhs from an environmentally preferred source, please fill out this form and mail it to our office.
