The Seattle Public Library will host a Seattle City Light “Green Up” information table from 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. on Wednesdays for the remainder of the month (October 12, 19 and 25) in the lobby at the Ballard Library (5614 22nd Ave NW).
Locals will have the chance to chat with City Light representatives about how local renewable energy projects in the Pacific Northwest can support clean energy and a healthy environment.
The Green Up program uses renewable energy projects to help promote economic development in rural parts of the region, improve Washington state’s energy security and reduce pollution.
Seattle City Light customers can change their owned or rented home’s energy usage to renewable energy through the Green Up program. Customers can choose to purchase renewable power for 25%, 50% or 100% of their power usage.
Green Up’s renewable energy credits come from regional geothermal, biogas, wind and small hydro energy. Seattle City Light’s basic energy service is currently a mix of hydro, wind, nuclear, coal, landfill gas and other power sources.
