For each megawatt-hour of electricity produced by a qualified renewable resource, 1 REC is created on the New England Power Pool Generation Information System (NEPOOL GIS). Since it is physically impossible to determine where a unit of electricity comes from or flows to on the grid, the RECs market helps ensure that renewable resources remain competitive in New England by capturing its environmental value or “attributes” as a second product.

By electing to participate in Green Choice, you can help sustain and support renewable energy resources for as little as $6 per month added to your electric bill.</p><p>Each $6 “block” represents the production of 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity from renewable resources. Customers may elect to purchase as many 100 kilowatt-hour blocks per month as they wish, and may cancel their participation at any time with a 30 day notice.</p><p>To participate in the Green Choice Program, download the <a href=\"http://www.belmontlight.com/energy-solutions/pdf/Green%20Choice%20Program.pdf\">Green Choice Program Application</a> and return it to BMLD’s office at:</p><p><b>Belmont Light Green Choice Program</b><br />40 Prince Street<br />Belmont, MA 02478</p><p>Funds from the Green Choice Program will be used to purchase Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from Class I qualified renewable energy resources. For each megawatt-hour of electricity produced by a qualified renewable resource, 1 REC is created on the New England Power Pool Generation Information System (NEPOOL GIS). Since it is physically impossible to determine where a unit of electricity comes from or flows to on the grid, the RECs market helps ensure that renewable resources remain competitive in New England by capturing its environmental value or “attributes” as a second product.

Every BMLD customer has the option of further supporting renewable energy resources through BMLD’s voluntary Green Choice Program. By electing to participate in Green Choice, you can help sustain and support renewable energy resources for as little as $6 per month added to your electric bill.</p><p>Each $6 “block” represents the production of 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity from renewable resources. Customers may elect to purchase as many 100 kilowatt-hour blocks per month as they wish, and may cancel their participation at any time with a 30 day notice.</p><p>To participate in the Green Choice Program, download the <a href=\"http://www.belmontlight.com/energy-solutions/pdf/Green%20Choice%20Program.pdf\">Green Choice Program Application</a> and return it to BMLD’s office at:</p><p><b>Belmont Light Green Choice Program</b><br />40 Prince Street<br />Belmont, MA 02478</p><p>Funds from the Green Choice Program will be used to purchase Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from Class I qualified renewable energy resources. For each megawatt-hour of electricity produced by a qualified renewable resource, 1 REC is created on the New England Power Pool Generation Information System (NEPOOL GIS). Since it is physically impossible to determine where a unit of electricity comes from or flows to on the grid, the RECs market helps ensure that renewable resources remain competitive in New England by capturing its environmental value or “attributes” as a second product. As a Green Choice participant, you choose to contribute to a more sustainable power supply for New England.</p>\n												LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (LIHEAP)					\n					<p>Heating assistance is available for low income Belmont residents.
