You Have a Choice for the Future
Evergreen is a renewable energy (green power) program available to your home,
farm or business through your local Touchstone Energy Cooperative.

Evergreen is for you if you are willing to pay a little bit more to purchase a portion or all of your electricity from renewable energy sources. In addition to your normal monthly electric bill, you volunteer to pay a small, additional charge each month to offset the additional cost it takes to support renewable energy.

That’s it. There are no other requirements. There is nothing to hook up. And, you will continue to receive the same reliable electric service you always have.

Evergreen renewable energy comes from the wind and waste-to-energy sources such as landfill gas and livestock manure. We purchase energy from highly efficient wind farms. New technology methane digesters located throughout our system convert waste from landfills and livestock confinements to bio-gas that is used to generate electricity.

By participating in Evergreen, you are investing in the future of the environment. Your purchase of one 100 kilowatt hour (kWh) block of Evergreen renewable energy each month has the same environmental benefits (CO2 reduction) as planting one-half acre of trees or not driving a car 2,400 miles.

If you would like to participate in the Evergreen Renewable Energy Program, download the Evergreen Renewable Energy Form (PDF file), fill it out and return to Hawkeye REC or call Hawkeye's office and request a form.
