Yes. Although wind power is affordable, it still costs slightly more than electricity produced by hydropower or by fossil fuels such as coal. For just a half-penny more per kilowatt hour, you can choose to buy all your electricity or a block of 1,000 kilowatt hours per month at the wind power rate. For the average residential customer who uses 1,000 kilowatt hours per month, that means about $5 more each month. Moorhead Public Service guarantees that the wind power premium won't increase for as long as you subscribe to the program.
