What it is
PSE's voluntary Green Power Program makes it easy for you to buy renewable energy equal to the amount of electricity you use. When you choose Green Power, you’ll support renewable energy projects located right here in the Pacific Northwest.
Renewable energy projects supported by PSE’s Green Power Program are in addition to those included in PSE’s standard resource portfolio. Green Power Program funds are directed to Pacific Northwest renewable energy facilities that supply additional electricity into the grid and PSE does not make a profit from those funds.
This voluntary program provides a way for residents and businesses to join together to ensure a clean, healthy, local energy supply now and for the future.
How it works
- When you enroll in PSE’s Green Power Program, PSE purchases renewable energy credits from regional renewable energy facilities on your behalf.
- This guarantees that electricity from wind, solar, and biomass facilities is delivered to the regional power pool (the grid).
- Electricity from renewable energy facilities reduces the need for electricity generated from non-renewable sources like fossil fuels, creating measurable environmental benefits.
- PSE’s Green Power Program is certified by Green-e Energy, the nation's leading voluntary certification program for renewable energy.
Green-e Energy certifies that PSE’s Green Power Program meets the minimum environmental and consumer protection standards established by the non-profit Center for Resource Solutions. For more information on Green-e Energy certification requirements, call 1.888.63.GREEN or log on to www.green-e.org.
