Choosing Abest Green Power for renewable electricity does not affect your ability to continue a budget billing plan with your utility.

Why did my bill go down (or up) last month?

There are two main things that determine the amount of your electricity bill: the amount of electricity you used during the month and the electricity supply price you’re paying per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for the electricity you used, or:

  • # kWh used * cents per kWh rate = your electricity supply charges

Electric Choice in New York

Does “electric choice” mean I get to pick any utility I want?

No. Electric choice means you can choose who supplies your electricity, not the utility that delivers it. By choosing who supplies your electricity, you can choose renewable energy like wind or solar.

Is Abest Green Power competing against my utility company?

No. Your utility supports energy competition and encourages customers to choose an energy supplier (ESCO) that is right for them. Your utility’s primary business role is delivering electricity to your home and maintaining that service. Abest Green Power is in the business of supplying renewable electricity and the utility delivers electricity to you. After you choose Abest Green Power,  your utility will still be there to read your meter, handle service calls, and provide emergency assistance. Energy competition is also supported by the State of New York.

All About Renewable Energy

By choosing Abest Green Power am I making a difference to the environment?

Yes! When you sign up with Abest Green Power for your electricity supply, it reduces the amount of pollution that your household would otherwise omit.

What does “clean” electricity mean?

The leading cause of industrial air pollution in the country is the production of electricity. While the majority of electricity generated in the U.S. is made by burning pollution-causing fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, our electricity is free of pollution, produced using clean, renewable energy from wind, solar, hydro, and other clean resources.

What is renewable energy?

Energy sources that are either inexhaustible (solar, wind) or replenished over a short period of time (hydro, biomass, geothermal) are considered renewable. Most renewable energy comes from the sun – indirectly in the case of wind, water, and biomass; directly in the case of solar (PV) generation. Natural gas and coal, for example, are not renewable because their use consumes gas and coal reserves at a much quicker rate than they can be replenished. Nuclear is not derived from fossil fuels but has negative environmental impacts like harmful radioactive waste byproducts. TAKE nuclear part out, legislation is changing now!

Is clean electricity the same as “Green Power”?

Yes. The clean electricity you buy when you sign up Abest Green Power is pollution-free and clean.

What is the impact of fossil fuels on our planet?

When fossil fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air. Greenhouse gases trap heat in our atmosphere, causing global warming.

What are fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources that consist of coal, crude oil, and natural gas.

Renewable Energy Plan

Will my renewable energy price change?

We guarantee your first month’s price will be what you signed up for. We also guarantee that we provide renewable electricity supply that is sourced from renewable resources across the United States. After your initial month of service, you will still receive renewable electricity at a highly competitive market-based price. We strive to keep our pricing as competitive as we can for our customers, however, market conditions may vary, and our pricing may do the same. You can cancel at any time without penalty.

Why are the plans offered in each service territory priced differently?

Even though the geographic areas are nearby each other, the costs to supply electricity are different based on the New York power grid zones; thus, the pricing offered by us may vary accordingly.

Why choose renewable power?

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the traditional production of electricity from fossil fuels is the leading cause of industrial air pollution in the U.S. Choosing Abest Green Power electricity products helps encourage the development of new renewable, pollution-free generation facilities in New York and nationally.

What if I change my mind?

Abest Green Power customers are not charged fees to cancel or change their plans.

If for any reason you are unsatisfied with your service, please call our Customer Experience team toll-free at 1-888-987-6937.
