Green Mountain Energy (http://www.electricitybid.com/Texas-Residential-Electricity-Facts-Label.html) is offering a pollution free residential electric rate (http://www.powertochoose.org) at 13.8 for June 2007. This rate is the same regardless of how little or how much electricity (http://www.electricitybid.com) you use in a month. The energy rate consists of 100% wind energy (http://www.onlineconsumerreport.org/wordpress/index.php/2007/05/04/wind-turbine-power-for-residential-electricity/). The early termination penalty is $150 if you were to cancel the contract early. This is a typical termination penalty. It would not be considered excessive. The best termination penalty out there is $69 with Amigo Energy (http://www.powertochoose.org) or $12 for each additional month left on the contract with Spark Energy (http://www.electricitybid.com). For questions about how exactly they can guarantee 100% wind power energy you should read their explanation below: "Renewable resource availability varies hour to hour and from season to season, as does our customers' use. We will rely on system power from the grid to serve our customers' minute by minute consumption but will cause enough of the applicable Green Mountain Energy electricity blend to be delivered to regional power systems to match our customers' actual electricity purchases. By purchasing and retiring renewable energy certificates or attributes from specific facilities we ensure that electricity from the promised resources equal to your annual electricity usage for which you've paid is delivered to power systems serving Texas and other states in the region. We may take up to three months following the close of a calendar year to make up any deficiency in a particular resource promised in connection with the electricity product you choose"
