I noticed that some products are Green-e certified, what does this mean?
The Green-e logo easily identifies for consumers electricity products that are generated from at least
50% renewable energy resources. This voluntary certification program was created by the nonprofit Center
for Resource Solutions.
When you see the Green-e logo on an electricity product, you can be sure:
- at least 50% of the electricity supply for the product comes from renewable electricity resources, such as solar, water, wind, biomass, geothermal.
- any non-renewable part of the product has lower air emissions than your traditional mix of electricity would have if you did not switch.
- the company offering the product agrees to abide by the Green-e Program's Code of Conduct, which requires that providers disclose the sources of your electricity.
