Pennsylvania mandates every licensed electricity supplier to obtain 9.22% of their electricity load from renewable sources.

Switching to Viridian to Viridian, a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month will reduce their carbon emissions by more than 2,000 pounds which is the equivalent of planting 90 trees or 1,675 miles not driven. The choice is clear.
For those wanting to do more, Viridian offers Pennsylvania customers the opportunity to go 100% green through our Pure Green rate plan.
