Stewardship

windmillWind Energy

In addition to solar, wind energy presents another viable renewable energy source.

Here, GreenFaith and Community Energy offer an attractive option – buying your electricity through GreenFaith’s Adopt-a-Windmill Campaign. It costs $11/month to buy half the average New Jersey household’s electricity supply from a wind farm right here in New Jersey.
 

GreenFaith's Adopt-a-Windmill Campaign

The wind turbine to the right is at the Jersey-Atlantic Wind Farm in Atlantic City, our state’s first wind farm and the first coastal wind farm in the country. GreenFaith is offering religious institutions and individuals the chance to buy New Jersey Wind® from this facility through GreenFaith’s Adopt-a-Windmill Campaign.

When you buy New Jersey Wind® through GreenFaith, you will be billed on your regular monthly utility bill, and your purchase will be credited towards the Campaign. Your service and electricity delivery agreements with your utility remain exactly the same.

After collecting enough subscribers to use one turbine’s output, GreenFaith will hold an interfaith service and public event at the Wind Farm. It will take 1,700 households each purchasing 200 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of New Jersey Wind® to ‘adopt’ a turbine.

New Jersey Wind® is sold in blocks of 100 kilowatt hours at $5.50/block/month. 200 kWh of New Jersey Wind®, which is 50% of the average New Jersey household’s electricity use, costs $11.00 monthly. You can also purchase more, and green your entire power supply. If you’d like to sign up now, click here to access the registration form. (link to 2ada)

This process is made possible by the NJ Board of Public Utilities, its Office of Clean Energy, and the CleanPower Choice Program. For more information on this program, see www.njcleanenergy.com. For more information on Community Energy, see www.communityenergy.com.
