Renewable Energy

My other favorite color is green.

Chances are you’ve heard about renewable energy. You also probably know it’s a fancy way to talk about "Going Green." As the planet's population and demand for more cost-efficient energy sources continue to rise, the importance of renewable energy will grow right along with them. Renewable energy has become an increasingly important focus around the world, as relying on non-renewable energy sources is an unsustainable practice in the long run.

So, what is renewable energy?

Renewable energy is derived from naturally-occurring sources that can also be replenished constantly, like solar, wind and hydroelectric power. This contrasts with traditional energy sources (like oil, coal, and natural gas) which are extracted, burned and cannot be easily regenerated over a short period of time.

No matter if you choose one of our partially green plans or the 100% renewable option, the green elecricity that Texas Longhorns Energy, powered by Champion Energy Services, provides is 100% all-Texas wind power. As a customer, you’ll help more companies capture wind and create green energy in the future. Plus, when it comes time to pay your bill, it'll hardly cost you more than traditional energy sources.

What you might not have heard of are Renewable Energy Credits.

A Renewable Energy Credit (REC) is an environmental commodity. These will be a part of our renewable energy program for both Texas Longhorns Energy members and non-members alike.
