Pear Energy

Pear Energy is an intermediary that buys clean, renewable energies from small community-led wind and solar companies across the United States and sells it directly to customers through their local utility. Customers can buy clean energy through Pear at two cents more per kilowatt-hour than a standard utility for the first 1,000 hours of electricity use, and 1.5 cents more thereafter. This added cost is split between Pear, the local utility, and the small renewable energy businesses. Thereafter, 50 percent of all Pear profits are donated directly to organizations working to protect the environment, build the green economy, and create good new job opportunities throughout the country.
