Viridian has chosen as part of our company mission to exceed the green energy requirements in Connecticut. Connecticut mandates every licensed electricity supplier to obtain 14% of their electricity load from renewable sources. The electricity you get through Viridian's Everyday Green plan is 20% green, while most of it's competitors merely meet the 14% benchmark. Simply by
Switching to Viridian Energy, a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month will reduce their carbon emissions by more than 700 pounds which is the equivalent of planting 40 trees or 775 miles not driven. The choice is clear.
For those wanting to do more, Viridian offers Connecticut customers the opportunity to go 100% green through our Pure Green rate plan.
