100% Renewable Energy
100% Renewable Prepaid Electricity in Texas
Pogo Energy matches 100% of each customer’s paid annual electricity use with renewable energy certificates, or RECs. The shared Texas grid delivers reliable electricity to your home, while RECs document that renewable generators produced and added an equivalent amount of electricity to a U.S. power grid.
Pogo Energy LLC is a Texas based retail electricity provider serving homes in deregulated areas of the state. Our prepaid plan is made for Texans who want renewable electricity without the deposit, credit check, or long-term contract.
The short answer: Pogo purchases and retires enough RECs to match 100% of your paid electricity use over the year.
A tracking system issues one REC when a renewable facility generates and delivers one megawatt hour 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity to a power grid. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, electricity buyers use RECs to track renewable electricity and substantiate renewable electricity-use claims on a shared grid.
This matters because the grid combines electricity from wind, solar, natural gas, nuclear, and other sources. There is no separate renewable power line running to your home. Your local transmission and distribution utility delivers the physical electricity, while Pogo uses RECs to match your paid annual use with renewable generation.
How Pogo Verifies 100% Renewable Electricity
What Does Green Energy Do to Help Our Planet?
Renewable generators such as wind and solar do not burn fossil fuels while producing electricity. Their output varies with weather and time of day, but homes remain connected to the full grid rather than to a single generator.
Texas already produces a substantial amount of electricity from renewable resources. Wind and utility scale solar supplied 36% of ERCOT electricity demand during the first nine months of 2025, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
What Does Green Energy Do to Help Our Planet?
Going green means that you use electricity that is generated without compromising our planet. Being green means that you are making choices that protect our environment, and clean choices are what it takes so that future generations are not left a world that is plagued with pollution. Going green means that there is less ‘yuck’ and more people are doing their part to preserve the planet. Let’s face it – we need this planet and should take care of it before it is too late.
Renewable Energy FAQ
Does Choosing a Renewable Plan Reduce My Carbon Footprint?
A properly matched and retired REC substantiates a renewable electricity-use claim. It can also support a claim about reducing the indirect carbon footprint associated with purchased electricity.
Does renewable electricity go directly to my home?
Not from a dedicated renewable generator. The Texas grid combines electricity from many generation sources and delivers that shared electricity to your home. Pogo uses RECs to document the renewable attributes of generation equal to your paid annual electricity use.
What is a renewable energy certificate?
A renewable energy certificate, or REC, represents the environmental and other non-power attributes of one megawatt-hour of renewable electricity generated and delivered to a grid. One megawatt hour equals 1,000 kilowatt-hours.
Are RECs the same as carbon offsets?
No. A REC represents the attributes of one megawatt-hour of renewable electricity generation. A carbon offset represents a quantified amount of greenhouse-gas emissions reduced or removed outside the buyer’s electricity use. They are different instruments and are not interchangeable.
Do I need solar panels to use Pogo’s renewable electricity plan?
No. You do not need to own or install solar panels. Pogo matches your paid annual electricity use with RECs while your local utility continues delivering electricity through the grid.
Is renewable electricity reliable when the wind is not blowing or the sun is not shining?
Yes. The shared grid draws electricity from multiple generation sources and delivers it continuously to your home. Your local TDU not an individual wind or solar facility delivers electricity to your home and handles outages.
