Some customers of Traverse City Light and Power are getting a rate cut, all thanks to "going green." The electric company recently announced the cancellation of the "Green Rate" that some customers have been paying since 1996. The rate was put in place to help offset the cost of building the company's wind turbine on M-72; the cancellation of the "Green Rate" means that those who were enrolled in the program will see lower rates on future electric bills. Members of the Traverse City Light and Power board thanked their Green Rate customers, saying their support over the years helped our area get an early start at "going green."  « Less
