SALT
LAKE CITY, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion
Energy Utah's CarbonRight program has reached an important
milestone, enrolling it's 1,000th customer in less than
six months since program inception. CarbonRight has the
potential to deliver exciting environmental benefits: every 1,000
participants represent carbon offsets equivalent to removing around
900 cars from the road or planting 7,000 new trees.
"We have been delighted by our customers' interest in this
sustainability offering," said Steven
Ridge, Vice President and General Manager of Dominion Energy
Utah. "We know that many of our customers are looking for
affordable, simple and convenient ways to participate in
sustainability and this program delivers in all of those
respects."
CarbonRight provides customers with a convenient and affordable
way to significantly reduce their carbon footprint by offsetting
carbon emissions from natural gas use in their home or business.
The program sources verified carbon offsets from landfill and
reforestation projects, including locally in Utah. The
offsets are independently certified through a rigorous and
transparent process.
CarbonRight participation is voluntary and available to all
Dominion Energy Utah and Idaho
customers. For just $5 a month, a
typical residential customer can offset their entire carbon
footprint from their natural gas usage. The program cost to
customers covers offset purchase and program administration costs -
Dominion Energy does not profit from the program.
Customers can sign up online, through the Dominion Energy Utah
mobile app, or by calling Customer Care at
1-800-323-5517.
This program complements Dominion Energy Utah's other
sustainability offerings. The ThermWise® program helps
homeowners and businesses conserve energy and save on their monthly
bills. The voluntary GreenTherm® program allows
customers to support renewable natural gas projects that reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from farms, food waste, landfills and
other sources.
Additionally, the company is advancing the use of zero-carbon
hydrogen and carbon-beneficial renewable natural gas to
significantly reduce emissions from customers' homes. Learn more
