Renewable Power Purchase Program
Longmont’s electric energy is purchased from Platte River Power Authority, our not-for-profit wholesale electricity provider that is jointly owned by Longmont, Estes Park, Fort Collins, and Loveland. Platte River shares Longmont’s goal of achieving 100% carbon free renewable electric energy supply by 2030 and continues to add renewable resources to its supply mix. More information on these renewable sources can be found on Platte River’s website.
The Renewable Power Purchase Program is available for customers that want to support Longmont and Platte River in achieving their goals or for organizations or businesses that have sustainability targets of their own. More information on Platte River’s electric supply resources, including renewable supplies like wind, solar, hydroelectric, and battery storage can be found on Platte River’s website.
The energy delivered to Longmont from Platte River Power Authority is generated by resources that are increasingly renewable, including hydroelectric, wind, and solar power. For those customers who want to further support renewable electric energy, LPC offers the Renewable Power Purchase Program for an additional subscription cost. Subscribers must commit to the program for a minimum of 12 months. To get started, fill out a Renewable Power Purchase Program application form.
