Traverse City Light and Power launches ‘My Clean Choice’ sustainability program

TRAVERSE CITY — Traverse City Light and Power (TCLP) is excited to announce the launch of “My Clean Choice,” a program designed to empower individuals to make environmentally friendly choices.

Previously known as the “Going Green” Program, TCLP has launched a new logo branding the “My Clean Choice” program under the TCLP brand.

“Our goal is to ensure the transition to a greener lifestyle is as smooth and accessible as possible for our customers,” executive director Brandie Ekren said. “These tools empower our customers to make meaningful, sustainable choices that benefit both their lives and our environment.”

Features of the “My Clean Choice” program include:

• Rebate programs: The electric lawn tools rebate, E-bike rebate, and more are designed to help customers save energy and money. For a list of rebates click here.
• On-bill financing: This program has Loans up to $30,000 available to TCLP customers to make qualifying energy-saving home improvements at a flat 3% interest rate.
• Renewable energy: These programs will help customers generate local renewable energy offsetting their energy needs.
• Voluntary green pricing: Customers can join this program voluntarily and opt-in to pay a premium on their monthly electric bills. These funds are dedicated to purchasing renewable energy credits, ensuring an equivalent amount of their energy is sourced from renewable energy projects.
• Time of use: This program is a rate plan that charges different prices for electricity use based on the time of day and the day of the week. Encouraging customers to use electricity during off-peak hours when demand is lower and reduce usage during peak hours when demand is higher.

“Sustainability isn’t just about preserving the environment it’s about building stronger, healthier communities,” sustainability and key accounts manager Jacob Hardy said. “When we invest in green initiatives, we invest in our shared future.”
