Energy for Tomorrow — Small Business

Your business can make a difference in the community and demonstrate its commitment to the environment by purchasing renewable energy from biogas sources. You can participate in this voluntary program, administered by We Energies, that not only increases use of renewable energy but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions produced by fossil fuels.

When you sign up, you can choose to have 25%, 50% or 100% of your monthly electricity use charged at the Energy for Tomorrow rate, which is $0.00849 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) more than the standard energy charge.

Most of the additional charge is used to purchase renewable energy, which is more expensive than traditional sources. Some is used to promote the program and provide updates to participants.
