Commonwealth Energy Corporation, California’s largest Electric Service Provider, will convert its 38,000 residential and small business customers from system power to the company’s GreenSmart program, using California-based, renewable energy sources. Unlike most green power programs, which require people to pay a premium, the power will be provided at a discount from what they’re currently paying.
Calpine Corporation supplies the power. About 60 percent comes from geothermal sources; the rest comes from forest waste biomass production. Commonwealth is one of the cheapest energy providers in the state and the company believes green electricity can be cost-competitive with traditional supplies.
