Green Power Purchasing

Green power can mean a utility rate based upon electricity sourced from renewable energy assets or, more commonly, the commoditized attributes of renewable electric generation known as Renewable Energy Certificates, or RECs. The demand for green power is growing as large energy consumers seek to position themselves as sustainable enterprises. Green power can confer a competitive business advantage, and help an organization meet its carbon reduction objectives. Green power can be used to achieve credits required for LEED certification, as well.
