Green Power Partnership  – How to purchase Green Power

The Green Power Partnership encourages organizations to purchase green power as a way to reduce the environmental impacts associated with conventional electricity use. The use of conventional fossil fuel based electricity can be one of the greatest environmental impacts associated with an organization’s operations. A green power purchase can provide organizations a number of benefits, including the ability to reduce such environmental impacts. Green power is electricity generated from renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, biomass and low-impact hydro resources. Green power resources contribute little to no greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. Voluntary purchases of green power also help to accelerate the development of new, domestic renewable energy facilities, further increasing our nation’s energy security.
