Beginning March 1, 2004, Clarke Electric Cooperative began offering a renewable energy program to our members. This program will allow individual customers the ability to voluntarily contribute to a fund. All of the money collected from customers will be used for the development of alternate energy production facilities in Iowa. Alternate energy production facilities may include wind energy, biomass, solar and other nontraditional generation technologies.

Through this program, customers will not be directly purchasing alternate energy, but rather participating in the development of these resources. Contributions may be retained until they reach a sufficient level to pursue a particular development, make a grant to another entity pursuing alternate energy development in Iowa, or arrange for purchases from alternate energy production facilities.

Some highlights of the program include:

• Available to customers within any of our rate classifications.
• Customers can contribute a one time dollar amount or on a monthly basis. The minimum contribution is $1.00.
• The forms of participation include: cash, check, credit card, ACH or paying the additional amount with your monthly electric bill.
• One-time contributions to the program will be accepted beginning March 1, 2004.
• Monthly contribution sign-up will be allowed beginning March 1, 2004, with program contribution line item appearing on customers bills as soon as practical thereafter.
