Support Renewable Energy Production
Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Program
KUB offers commercial and industrial customers solar, biomass, and hydropower Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for purchase. Each REC represents 1 MWh of renewable electricity generated helping customers meet and report emissions reductions aspirations.
The benefits of KUB RECs include:
- Flexible options: RECs are available in custom quantities that fit individual footprints and budgets.
- Verified sourcing: RECs offered are purchased by KUB from power generated in the Tennessee Valley.
- Simple process: The program offers a quick sign-up process, transparent documentation, and straightforward invoicing.
Solar RECs are $5 each, and non-solar RECs are $2 each. RECs for the current year and beyond are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Green Switch Match Program

Customers enrolled in Green Switch Match will purchase green power in a quantity matching their monthly electric consumption by adding one cent per kWh to their bills. Electricity is made up of 100% solar power generated in the Tennessee Valley. For the typical residential KUB customer, participation in Green Switch Match can help reduce a customer’s carbon footprint by more than 8,000 lbs of CO2 emissions per year.

Green Switch Program
TVA EnergyRight® Green Switch program (formerly known as Green Power Switch) gives residential and business customers the option to support renewable energy generation in our region. For each $2 that Green Switch participants add to their electric bills, a block of 200 kilowatt-hours of energy from 100% solar resources will be generated and placed on the TVA electric grid.
