Arcadia Power is the first digital utility giving access to clean energy, save $20 on your first bill

Fossil fuels aren’t just harmful for the environment, they’re more expensive than renewable, clean energy resources. Unfortunately, most people are under the impression that green energy resources are difficult to access — but with Arcadia Power, conservation-conscious people can use an online platform to not only get free access to low-cost clean energy resources, but improve how your home runs.

We’ve partnered with Arcadia Power to offer 9to5Toys and Electrek readers $20 off their first power bill. Simply head over to this landing page to get started with this unique service that delivers access to clean energy, whether you rent or are a homeowner. More details below.

How does Arcadia Power save you money? By signing up, you join a community of over 150,000 members, which drives the collective purchasing power and allows Arcadia Power to negotiate a lower monthly payment for green energy. Members have saved as much as 30% on their power bills after switching to Arcadia Power.

Arcadia Power helps you connect to less expensive clean energy plans — and you get some peace of mind knowing you’re doing something positive for the environment. Think of Arcadia Power like an automated energy advisor: they manage your utility account for you, then proceed to recommend an alternative clean energy plan you can choose to opt-out of.

This clean energy program is available to homeowners and renters across the country. In the 12 states (IL, OH, NY, NH, DC, MD, PA, ME, NJ, RI, DE, CT) where energy is deregulated, meaning residents can shop around for the energy distributor of their choice, Arcadia Power offers a Price Alerts program. For these states, Arcadia Power monitors the local market, finds the lowest-cost clean energy plan, and then notifies the user. One of the benefits of this program is that as more people join Arcadia Power and connect their utility accounts, savings improve for everyone.

One of my favorite features of Arcadia Power is the smartphone app, which helps your track and visualize savings over time. This feature helps users understand where power is coming from, and how their money is being spent.

Oftentimes, members are able to save as much as 30% off their original bills once they switch — plus, Arcadia Power offers utility billing at no transaction fee, so you can earn points with every power bill. You can sign-up here to switch to Arcadia Power and save $20 off your first bill. This offer is good through the end of August.
