Step 3: Receive Clean Energy Rewards.

You will receive a confirmation form the energy supplier or REC marketer once they have processed your application.  Then you will get rewards automatically!

If you change energy suppliers the rewards will appear on your electricity bill as a credit.  Click here to see what a Clean Energy Rewards electric bill looks like.

If you purchase RECs the reward will appear as a discount off of the per unit price of the REC.  You will receive a “welcome packet” from the REC marketer indicating the number of RECs you purchased.

Remember!  Buying RECs is in addition to your electricity bill so you will still get an electric bill, or you will still pay electricity through your rent or lease.

If you have solar panels on your home or business Montgomery County will send you a check for the clean energy you generate annually.  Click here to learn more.
