The San Marcos City Council approved the implementation of a voluntary renewable energy program for local utility customers during its meeting Tuesday night.
The San Marcos Electric Utility Division will now be able to implement a voluntary program allowing its customers to guarantee they are receiving 100% renewable energy in their homes.
The program through the Electric Reliability Council of Texas market allows SMEU to purchase renewable energy credits, purchased at a fixed rate for one year. Customers can opt in to the program for a small fee and keep their rate for one year.
As customers’ annual renewal comes up, they will be notified of any price changes and have the opportunity to opt back in or out. The price difference in the example given to San Marcos City Council was a $5 per month increase.
