| Abstract: | Electricity consumers, including businesses and industries, are increasingly gaining the ability to choose among power options from either their current electric utilities or from alternative power providers. In fact, more than one-third of electricity customers have access to green power-power generated from renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass- directly through a power supplier. And green energy certificates, which represent the environmental attributes of renewable resources, are available nationally-even where the actual resource does not exist. This article discusses clean, green power options available to power purchasers and the tools and information that can be used to make more sustainable power purchase decisions. |
