Guthrie County REC’s Green Pricing Program allows members to support the development of renewable energy projects with voluntary contributions to a fund. All the money collected from members will be used for the development of alternate energy production facilities in Iowa. These alternate energy production facilities may include wind energy, biomass, solar and other nontraditional generation technologies.

With this program, members do not directly purchase alternate energy; instead, contributions are set aside for the development of these resources. These contributions may be retained until a sufficient level is available to pursue a particular development project, make a grant to another entity pursuing alternate energy development in Iowa, or arrange for purchases from alternate energy production facilities.

A one-time contribution or a monthly pledge that is automatically added to the monthly electric bill is rounded up. The alternate energy purchase program sign-up form located at guthrie-rec.coop/green-pricing must be completed and mailed to Guthrie County REC, 1406 State Street, Guthrie Center, IA 50115. Please call the office at 641-747-2206 or 888-747-2206 with any questions.
