Make the Switch: Join Issaquah's Green Power Program

Issaquah, WALocal News

Issaquah is taking significant steps toward a sustainable energy future by promoting the Puget Sound Energy (PSE) Green Power program, which allows residents and businesses to switch to renewable energy sources. For just $4 a month, participants can have their electricity usage matched with clean energy derived from wind and solar, making it an affordable option for the community. The city's ambitious goal is to enroll 300 new participants in the program, which would trigger a $15,000 funding contribution from PSE for a solar panel project on a community building. This funding will be doubled by the city, demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainability and community enhancement. The initiative aligns with Issaquah's Climate Action Plan, which aims to preserve natural resources while promoting environmental stewardship.

By encouraging participation, the city hopes to inspire collective action towards a greener future. Residents are urged to learn more about the program and consider making the switch. Together, the community can make a substantial impact on local energy consumption and sustainability efforts.
