Benefits of Clean Energy for Business
 

Across the country, communities and businesses are making a commitment to a healthier environment for present and future generations by switching to renewable-based electricity. Green-e certified power is recognized by environmental and consumer protection leaders as representing true value.
 
Customer and Employee Relations:
Opinion polls consistently show that consumers and employees prefer to work with environmentally responsible businesses.

Stable Prices:
Renewable electricity prices are stable because they do not rely on volatile commodity fuels. Purchasing renewable electricity can be a price hedge in today's stormy wholesale gas and electricity markets.

Public Relations:
Green-e commercial customers say the public relations value of buying green offsets any price premium.

The Environment:
Integrating green power purchasing into a comprehensive energy efficiency and environmental strategy can offset added costs.

Your Corporate Image:
Purchase electricity from a Green-e Certified Electricity Provider, and your company can display the Green-e Logo on your advertising, retail outlets, labels and other marketing materials. Like the recycling logo, displaying the Green-e seal demonstrates your company's strong commitment to the environment and consumer protection.

What Environmentalists Say
About Renewable Power:

"By using electricity from renewable generation, you can reduce financial risks to your company, including future emission restrictions, taxes on pollutants, and, of course, excessive price fluctuations. Thus, in addition to signaling your company's environmental commitment, renewable electricity also has a sound business case." Environmental Defense

"In environmental terms, a choice of electricity supplier is among the most important choices any of us -- household or business -- can make. Expect customers increasingly to want to know what kind of electricity choices their suppliers are making. Companies can contribute to the solution by choosing a Green-e product."
Natural Resources Defense Council

"You can make your electricity choice count by buying green power. Increasing renewable energy supplies will reduce emissions, diversify the energy resource portfolio, and retain energy dollars within the regional economy."
