7 U.S. EPA s Green Power Partnership Voluntary program that supports the Partners procurement of green power by offering expert advice, technical support, tools and resources. Partners agree to procure green power and provide annual update In return, EPA commits to: Provide public recognition Provide procurement and communications assistance, as requested Provide a brief description of the Partner's green power use on EPA s Website If your annual electricity use is Partnership Benchmark You must, at minimum, use this much green power Leadership Benchmark You must, at minimum, use this much green power Over 100,000,000 kwh 3% of your use 30% of your use 10,000, ,000,000 kwh 5% of your use 50% of your use 1,000,001 10,000,000 kwh 10% of your use 100% of your use Under 1,000,000 kwh 20% of your use N/A 7
8 Green Power Procurement Options Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) The environmental attributes of electricity generated from renewable resources (1 REC = 1 MWh) Attributes are based on the generation technology type and age, geographic location, and time of generation Does not include the underlying electrons unbundled a.k.a. Green Tags, Renewable Energy Credits Green Power Electricity Products Green power offered by utility suppliers that is all, or partially, generated from renewable sources Bundled product that includes both the RECs as well as the underlying electrons On-site Generation Install a renewable energy system on-site (e.g. solar panels, wind turbine) Produces both electricity and RECs from the on-site source Self-financed installation or via a third-party PPA To claim use of green power, host needs REC ownership 8
9 What is a REC? A REC comprises the environmental attributes from 1 MWh of green electricity generation RECs are unique and vintaged and may not be double-counted RECs are functionally the same as utilitydelivered green power 9
10 Value Proposition to Companies Environmental Addresses indirect GHG emissions Potential Electricity Cost Savings and/or Stability Reduce exposure to fossil fuel price volatility Economic Development Job creation On-site installations can spur local economic growth Corporate Image Enhance image Demonstrate environmental leadership Differentiate products/services Improve employee moral Capture Favorable Media Attention 10
11 More on RECs Benefits for Purchaser Availability Even if local power provider has no green power options Flexibility Type of renewable resources Volumes purchased Location of resource Leased space Simplicity for companies with locations across multiple states Blend Resources Wind/ Landfill Gas/ Solar/ Geothermal Local/ National Avoidance of physical supply issues Does not impact contract with current provider Attribute ownership Buyers should specify ownership of attributes in contract 11
