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.

TYPES OF RENEWABLE ENERGY

:: Nania ::

Solar

Solar
Energy from the sun that is converted into electricity or heat using solar panels. Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable resource available.
Wind

Wind
Wind energy is converted into electricity using turbines. Wind farms use numerous turbines positioned in water or over a large area of land to generate electricity.
Hydropwer

Hydropower
Using water to generate electricity or power machinery. The kinetic energy of flowing water powers turbines that produce electricity
Biopower

Biopower
Plant material and animal waste (biomass) are used as fuel to boil water. The energy from the resulting steam is used to power turbines and generators that create electricity.
Geothermal

Geothermal
Heat from within the Earth is harnessed and brought to the surface to power turbines that generate electricity. Geothermal energy can also be used to directly heat homes and buildings.

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.
