Power Sources
RMEA utilizes multiple energy technologies to create a balanced mix of safe, reliable, affordable and clean energy. Having both renewable and conventional energy sources ensures we have adequate supply to meet demand during different times of the day. Variable energy resources such as wind and solar only produce power if the wind is blowing or the sun is shining.
While RMEA continues to expand its diverse renewable portfolio, including increasing battery storage for renewables, You can choose to lead the way by opting up to the 100% Renewable Energy Option.
