RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR ELECTRIC SUPPLY ONLY

Included in the purchase of electricity product, Great American Gas & Electric (‘GAGE”) ensures that electricity equal to the percentage of customer electricity usage is produced by power generation facilities located in the United States that use renewable resources (such as wind, solar, geothermal, water and biomass), and that have been added to the national power grid since 1997.

GAGE does so by purchasing and retiring renewable energy certificates (REC’s) or credits representing the environmental attributes associated with the applicable amount of renewable energy generation from specific renewable generation facilities in the United States. Customers will not have electricity from a specific generation facility delivered directly to their service address, but this purchase ensures that the applicable percentage of our customers electricity usage is offset by the generation of energy from renewable sources in the United States on an annual basis. This purchase helps support the development of renewable energy in America and creates important environmental benefits in the areas where the renewable energy is generated.

These benefits also apply to all of us in the form of reduced levels of CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions that can be expected as more energy is generated from renewable resources and less is required from polluting fossil-fuel sources. GAGE may take up to 3 months following the close of a calendar year to make up any deficiency in the renewable resource content for this product.
