At SmartEnergy, choosing renewable energy is about more than the electricity you use. It’s about finding meaningful ways to support a cleaner, more sustainable future.
That’s why, for more than a decade, SmartEnergy has worked with the Arbor Day Foundation to help plant a tree for every new customer.
Why Trees Matter
Trees do far more than make our communities greener. They play an important role in creating healthier, more resilient places to live.
Trees can help:
- Clean the air by filtering pollutants and absorbing carbon dioxide.
- Reduce extreme heat by providing shade and helping cool neighborhoods.
- Conserve energy when strategically planted around homes and buildings.
- Manage water by reducing runoff and helping protect local watersheds.
- Support wildlife by creating habitats for birds and other species.
- Strengthen communities by creating greener, healthier spaces for people to enjoy.
The Arbor Day Foundation also highlights how strategically placed trees can help homeowners reduce the energy needed to heat and cool their homes.
A Tree for Every New Customer
SmartEnergy’s partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation has been growing for more than a decade.
For every new SmartEnergy customer, a tree is provided through the program. Trees are distributed directly to community members at an appropriate time for planting in their area, helping bring the environmental benefits of trees into the communities SmartEnergy serves.
A Lasting Impact
A tree planted today can provide benefits for decades.
As it grows, it can provide shade, help improve air quality, support wildlife, and contribute to a healthier local environment. Multiply that impact across hundreds of thousands of trees, and individual actions can become something much larger.
That is what makes the program an important part of SmartEnergy’s broader commitment to environmental stewardship.
The SmartEnergy Difference
When you choose SmartEnergy, you’re doing more than selecting an electricity supplier:
- ✅ 100% renewable electricity: SmartEnergy purchases renewable energy credits to match 100% of customers’ electricity usage.
- ✅ Fixed-rate options: Choose from plans designed to provide rate stability throughout the plan term.
- ✅ Support for renewable energy: Your electricity usage is matched with renewable energy credits supporting renewable resources such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, and geothermal energy.
Choosing renewable energy is one action. Helping a tree take root is another. Together, they are part of SmartEnergy’s commitment to creating a cleaner, greener future for the communities we serve.
One customer. One tree.
