Green & Renewable Energy Sourcing

Enduring energy transformation requires that where and how you source energy undergoes as much consideration as the mix of energy that you’re sourcing. However, around here, consideration doesn’t equal complicated. Clients come to us for a rich depth of support in two primary areas: Wholesale Market Access and Advisory services.

Carbon Offsets

Encourage removal of greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere to support decarbonization goals, and are a fast and simple way to make real progress toward your sustainability goals. One carbon offset is equivalent to removing one metric ton of carbon dioxide, or CO2 equivalent, from the atmosphere.

By purchasing carbon offsets, you contribute to projects that negate or diminish greenhouse gas emissions, therefore counteracting the emissions of your business. Projects may range from development of renewable energy generation and CO2 sequestration technologies to agricultural and reforestation initiatives. Offsets are often used for meeting voluntary commitments to lower GHG emissions where it is not feasible to lower an organization’s direct or indirect emissions.

How Customers Benefit
  • Verified Projects
  • Diverse Project Portfolio
  • Competitive Pricing

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)

Lower emissions we send into the atmosphere, and represent the environmental impact of one megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable energy generation. RECs guarantee that equivalent energy was produced using renewable sources and added to the electricity grid.

RECs help reduce indirect greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the generation of purchased electricity, which typically represent over 60% of an organization’s emissions footprint. RECs can be purchased on a standalone basis or bundled with electric supply.

RECs legally convey the attributes of renewable electricity generation, including the emissions profile of that generation, to their owner and serve as the basis for a renewable electricity consumption claim. As such, the REC owner has exclusive rights to characterize the quantity of their purchased electricity associated with the RECs as zero-emissions electricity.

How Customers Benefit
  • Tradeable Legal Instruments
  • Diverse Project Portfolio
  • Traceable Ownership Rights

Green Power

Also helps lower emissions we send into the atmosphere, and is a subset of renewable energy representing those resources that provide the highest environmental benefit, such as solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, biomass (forms of plant and waste material) and low-impact hydro electric resources. Green power generally does not include some resources that are often considered as renewable energy including large hydropower and municipal solid waste.

Green power is also considered renewable electricity that goes above and beyond what is otherwise required by mandate or requirement – i.e.voluntary or surplus to regulation.
