My town provides this option - including various shades of green energy. We're currently on "100% green" but like 40% from burning garbage at the landfill for power generation. This year they gave the option to do entirely solar but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I'll admit I don't know much about how they allocate power (sourcing or distribution). I always figured my electricity was coming from the same pool as my neighbors regardless of the sourcing I was paying for, but if I can encourage my town to switch to green energy faster, that seems worth doing.

@JacobCoffinWrites @MrMakabar sometimes electric providers will have an option called “voluntary green pricing” - essentially an opt-in program where you pay slightly more, but the utility uses that extra money to buy more renewable energy than they would otherwise
