About Blue Sky

Pacific Power’s Blue Sky program provides customers the opportunity to support renewable energy facilities and help build a larger market for renewable energy.  The Blue Sky Block program allows customers to support 100 kilowatt-hour blocks of western region supplied wind energy. Funds from these customers are used to purchase renewable energy credits from western region renewable energy facilities. A portion of funds are also used for customer education, community outreach and program administration costs. Any additional funds, not used to cover program costs, may be used to support qualifying initiatives, including community-based renewable energy projects in Pacific Power’s service area in Oregon, Washington and California. The funds available for this program vary from year to year and awards are offered on a competitive basis.
