Create a better future

Our renewable energy is Green-E certified.

As a customer of Stoughton Utilities, you can purchase renewable energy blocks to offset a part or all of your electrical usage through our Renewable Energy Program. Renewable energy is generated from clean, green energy sources such as wind, biogas, and the sun, and is purchased in 300 kilowatt-hour (kWh) blocks; each block costs $3.

Purchasing one block of renewable energy each month for one year has the equivalent impact on the environment as not driving a car for six months and avoids emitting over three tons of carbon dioxide.

In Stoughton, 417 residential customers purchase 1,052 blocks of renewable energy each month. That’s the equivalent of 315,600 kWh, enough to power 526 average-sized homes.

Stoughton was recently recognized by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for its participation in our Renewable Energy Program. Stoughton Utilities placed ninth in the nation for its 5.2% customer participation rate.
