Renewable Energy on Long Island and in Connecticut

HealthConnect would like to encourage employees on Long Island and in Connecticut to sign up for Wind Energy for their homes.

At a time when homegrown, pollution free energy has never been more important, LIPA and CP&L along with Community Energy are leading the way to energy independence and a healthy environment. As more customers sign up, more wind energy will be delivered to the power grid. This means cleaner air and water, greater energy independence and a more secure energy future.

The Wind Energy charge will appear on your monthly electricity bill as a separate line item. Submit the monthly charge (electronically of course) and receive 80% reimbursement for the additional Wind Energy charge.
