Environmental Stewardship

We have a program to work with your renewable energy goals. Through the Infinity Renewable Energy program, you can decide how much of the electricity you purchase is generated by renewable resources. By enrolling in this program, you can designate the percentage of the electric use you would like to be derived from renewable energy. Cass County Electric will allocate the appropriate amount of renewable energy through the program and indicate your purchases on your monthly bill. The record of your purchase and proof it was reserved for your account is done through a renewable energy credit (REC).

Renewable Energy Credit Measurement

A REC verifies that electricity was generated from an eligible renewable energy resource and was integrated into the electric grid. All wind RECs purchased through the Infinity program are certified by the Midwest Renewable Energy Tracking System. This certification ensures that the RECs are only used once. When you determine the amount of renewable energy your business would like to
purchase, an equivalent number of RECs will be retired on your behalf. Additional costs are incurred to purchase renewable energy and specifically to designate how this energy is credited and used. Contact Cass County Electric’s energy management team for current pricing options. Please call us at 701-356-4400 to find out more! No contracts are required. The only stipulation is you are a consumer-member of Cass County Electric Cooperative. The Infinity Renewable Energy Program has a designated energy rate that will be included on your monthly bill.
