The Renewable Energy Service Rider (RESR) Program is an opportunity for City of Mesa commercial and residential customers to use renewable energy without the risk of installing their own power generating equipment such as solar power systems. Mesa will purchase renewable energy on the Customer’s behalf that will specifically be used for the Customer’s energy needs.  Customers can elect to cover 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of their monthly energy needs with this renewable energy and Mesa will automatically adjust the Customer’s bill.  Sources of this renewable energy can include biogas energy, biomass energy, geothermal energy, landfill gas energy, solar energy, or wind energy.

Beginning with the July billing period, the Customer will have the RESR Premium Charge added on to their bill at a rate of $0.01/kWh for each kWh covered under the RESR.  For instance, if the Customer uses a total of 1,000 kWh during a month while enrolled in the program, and has elected to cover 50% of their energy with renewable energy through the RESR, the RESR Premium charge for that month will be:

1,000 kWh * 50% * $0.01/kWh = $5.00 plus applicable taxes

The RESR Premium Charge shall be applied in addition to the Customer’s other monthly bill charges and adjustments. The RESR Premium Charge shall not substitute for any other billing line items.  The standard RESR Enrollment Period is from April 1 to June 1; however, Mesa reserves the right to open the RESR program for further enrollment at other times if deemed appropriate.

A Customer may cancel service under this rider with no remaining obligations after twelve billing cycles by providing written notice to Mesa during the following RESR Enrollment Period.  If a Customer wishes to cancel service under this rider prior to twelve billing cycles and if the Customer Annual Renewable Energy that is remaining to be paid by the Customer for that year to date exceeds 100,000 kWh, the customer will be charged for all Renewable Energy above 100,000 kWh (Estimated Excess Remaining kWh) that it would have consumed in the year at the monthly RESR Premium Charge Rate ($/kWh) multiplied by such Estimated Excess Remaining kWh. After receipt of such payment, cancellation shall become effective at the end of the billing cycle in which the notice for cancellation is received by Mesa.
