GREEN ENERGY
what is offsite renewable (green) energy?
Green/Renewable energy is energy that is not generated by fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil). Renewable energy sources are naturally replenished overtime.
What is the easiest way to purchase offsite renewable (green) energy?
Answer: RECs
What is a REC?
A Renewable Energy Credit (REC) is tradable, non-tangible proof that 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity has been generated from a renewable resource and fed into the grid.
If you choose to incorporate renewable energy into your strategy by purchasing RECs, you have options.
Multiple-Mix
This type of REC pulls green energy from multiple national renewable energy sources.
Local
You can request that the energy for the RECs is sourced from a specific state or region.
Additionality
You can indicate which renewable source you would like your RECs to be sourced from, such as solar or wind.
