ENVIRONMENTAL DUE DILIGENCE
We review each and every wind farm, solar system, hydro facility and carbon offset project that we buy from. Specifically, we look for the following:
- No significant negative environmental effects (e.g., wildlife displacement or mortality) or social impacts (e.g., disruption of traditional land uses or community protests)
- For renewable energy, Green-e eligibility including:
- Eligible resource type
- Online date within past 15 years
- Eligible generation period (no later than 6 months before or 3 months after the calendar year in which the customer’s electricity consumption occurred)
- No double counting
- No double claiming
- For carbon offsets, Climate Action Reserve or other applicable certification program eligibility
