Title: Arcadia Power
Post by: DrumAllDay on September 13, 2017, 09:49:23 AM
Has anyone heard of this company or is anyone currently signed up with them? https://www.arcadiapower.com/ (https://www.arcadiapower.com/)

They claim that they can ensure that 50% of your electricity is from renewable sources at no extra cost.

You have to pay through them and they pay your utility company for you but it claims there is no extra cost to signing up. Now through the end of the month you can get $20 off your electric bill by signing up.

I use it. Allegedly, if I get 5 more people referred this year, I'll get $1,000. I believe it when I see it.

They also have virtual solar panels that you can buy.

We use them.  My DH decided to sign us up and I wasn't opposed -- I actually thought it meant all our power was wind-generated, not just 50% (maybe it varies by region, I'm in the US SE, or maybe I just wasn't listening carefully when he asked me about it.  That could happen!).  We've noticed no difference whatsoever in quality/reliability of service and find the cost difference neglible.

The 100% offset costs  $$$. The 50% is free.
