My power company does something like this, though they don't offer offsets per se. You can opt to pay more in exchange for "getting a certain amount of your energy from wind power", which really means that they will invest the extra money per kWh you're spending in wind infrastructure. Also, though it depends on what happens in the state legislature, in opting to pay the extra money to build the wind infrastructure, the power company may be compelled to give you a return on your investment once the windmills are up and running.
