Maritime Electric – Green Power
Maritime Electric agreed to develop and administer a Green Power
marketing program for its customers in conjunction with the government
of Prince Edward Island's development of the 5.2 MW North Cape wind
farm. The output of the facility is purchased by Maritime Electric
with most being sold to provincial and federal government facilities.
Maritime Electric can, however, sell up to 20% of the facility's
output to business and residential customers through its Green Power
program, which was launched in December 2001. By the end of 2003,
396 of the company's 56,400 residential customers and 34 of the
company's 11,225 commercial/industrial customers were participating.
Today, the program is fully subscribed as the 20% turbine output
reserved for green power customers is sold out. There are currently
no plans to extend this successful program to enable more customers
to sign up. www.maritimeelectric.com/greenpower.html

There are currently no Green Power Certificate programs in Prince
