If you enrolled in a plan with a percentage of renewable energy, your price includes the cost to purchase Renewable Energy Credits as well as all of the above-listed factors. Our current and historical prices are not an indicator of our future prices and we do not guarantee any savings. Our prices may be higher than your utility’s supply rate. |

Automatic Contract Renewal Provision |
This Agreement will automatically renew on the expiration of the estimated billing cycle for the initial term of the contract. The exact date that your initial agreement will begin and end, depends on when your local utility company accepts our request to enroll you as our supply customer. This process can take up to forty-five (45) days, but usually less. Your energy supply service will not be interrupted during this time. Your renewal contract term will begin on the following billing cycle. You will be provided with a Notice of Automatic Contract Renewal not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days before the expiration of this Agreement. That notice will advise you of product options that are available to you and the price that you will be automatically renewed to if you do not call us by the date specified in that notice to select a different product option or to reject automatic contract renewal. That Notice will also advise you of the procedure for notifying us if you want to reject contract renewal and terminate your existing contract at the end of its term. |

Your Right to Cancel | Once service has started, you may cancel by contacting us. It may take one or two billing cycles before the cancellation is finalized, depending on your utility’s timeframes. The effective date is usually the next date that your meter is read after the utility has processed our request to cancel your service with us. You have the right to terminate your agreements with alternative retail electric suppliers at any time without any termination fees or penalties. If you do cancel this contract, you may forfeit some of the rewards that we describe in your Welcome Confirmation, and you will be responsible for unpaid balances as of the cancellation date. | ||||||||||||||||||

Electricity is the product of a mix of generation energy sources that is delivered over a system of wires. You will not have electricity from a specific generation facility delivered directly to your service address, but Green Mountain ensures that the applicable percentage of your electricity usage is matched by the generation of energy from renewable resources on an annual basis. Green Mountain does so by purchasing and retiring ‘renewable energy attributes’ or 'renewable energy certificates' representing the environmental attributes associated with the applicable amount of renewable energy generation from the area specified for your product. Your purchase helps support the development and operation of renewable resources in the areas specified by your product. Green Mountain may take up to three months following the close of a calendar year to make up any deficiency in the renewable resource content for your product.
NATURAL GAS
Carbon Conscious plan: By enrolling in Carbon Conscious plan, the origin, physical content, and emissions characteristics of the natural gas delivered to your home will not change. However, Green Mountain ensures that you are offsetting the estimated carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with the stated percentage of your natural gas usage by purchasing carbon offsets under one or more third-party carbon offset standards. Under these standards, an offset credit is generated for each ton of carbon dioxide equivalent that is reduced or removed as part of a verified greenhouse gas reduction project.
Offsetting one ton of carbon with a carbon credit means there will be one less ton of carbon dioxide in the global atmosphere than there would have been. Carbon Conscious gas is not intended to address any other environmental impact of natural gas usage, including emissions related to the extraction, storage, or delivery of natural gas.
Green Mountain Energy™ Sun Club™
The Green Mountain Energy Sun Club promotes new sustainability solutions by funding solar arrays, as well as water conservation, waste reduction, and other sustainability projects, for non-profit organizations. As you are now part of the Green Mountain community, Green Mountain will contribute $0.25 per month to the Sun Club on your behalf. For more information, please visit gmsunclub.com.
Regulatory Changes: This contract is subject to present and future legislation, orders, rules, regulations or decisions of a duly constituted governmental authority or independent system operator having jurisdiction over this contract or the services to be provided hereunder. If at some future date there is a change in any law, rule, regulation, tariff, or regulatory structure (“Regulatory Change”) which impacts any term, condition or provision of this contract including, but not limited to price, we shall have the right to modify this contract to reflect such Regulatory Change (including by adjusting the price to reflect any increase in our costs as result of such Regulatory Change) by providing 30 days’ written notice of such modification to you, at which time the change will take effect automatically unless you have contacted us to cancel the contract.

Notice of Automatic Contract Renewal
You have selected a product with an initial term length of 12 months. This means that you will receive your last bill for the initial term in approximately 12 months, which is an estimate of when the initial contract term expires. The exact date that your initial agreement will begin and end depends on when your local utility company accepts our request to enroll you as our supply customer, so the contract expiration could be later. This process can take up to 45 days but usually less. (Your energy supply service will not be interrupted during this time).
Before the end of your initial term, we will send you a notice that your term is about to expire. If you do nothing, your service with us will continue at the price and term length specified in the notice. The estimated bill cycle will immediately follow the last billing cycle of the current term in about 12 plus one months.
The exact beginning and ending dates of your initial agreement – and the beginning date of your renewal agreement – will be confirmed once you receive your Welcome Confirmation from us.
If you don’t want your agreement to renew, you have two options to let us know and we’ll cancel the renewal: email us at ILCustomerCare@greenmountain.com or call 800-274-5289, Mon-Fri 7am-7pm CT. We’d hate to lose you, so try giving us a call to review your options before cancelling your renewal.
