How will I be billed?
Your selected Green Power purchase amount will be listed as a separate line item on your monthly Puget Sound Energy electricity bill.
How will my bill be calculated?
Customers who choose to purchase blocks of green power must purchase a minimum block of $4.00 a month, which allows PSE to buy 320 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy on your behalf. You can choose to purchase additional green power blocks of 160 kWh at $2.00 each. The green power charge will appear on your bill and is in addition to your monthly electric bill. Customers who select the 100 percent Green Power option will be charged $0.0125 per kWh on top of your monthly electric charge. With the 100 percent option, your monthly green power charge is dependent on your monthly electric usage. Taxes: You must also pay all applicable federal, state, and local taxes and charges**
How much will my total electricity service cost, including utility charges?
Customers who participate in the block option will pay their normal monthly electric charge plus the block option amount of their choice. For example, if – in a given month - your electric charge is $53 dollars a month and you have selected a $4.00 block of green power, then your monthly charge will be $57.00 that month. Customers who participate in the 100 percent Green Power option will be charged an additional
$0.0125 multiplied by their actual monthly kWh electric usage. As an example, for an energy efficient customer using an average of 800 kWh each month, the following table provides an estimate of a monthly electricity bill if that customer were to purchase 100 percent green power. Your actual bill will vary based on your use of electricity.****

Commission. Customers will be notified within one-month of a green power rate increase or decrease.
