Green-E Certifies Juice Energy's Renewable Energy Certificates
Juice Energy's Customers Can Now Sign Up for a Certified Renewable Energy Option
(CSRwire) SAN FRANCISCO, CA - September 7, 2007 - The Center for Resource Solutions
announced today that Juice Energy's renewable energy certificate (REC)
product is now Green-e certified. Juice Energy joins the network of
renewable energy providers that offer products certified by Green-e, the
nation’s leading certification and verification program for renewable
energy.
"We are very pleased that Juice Energy will participate in Green-e by
offering a certified renewable energy option to its customers," said
Andrew Nourafshan, Green-e Program Associate. "Juice Energy’s customized
REC solutions have just made it even easier for businesses and institutions
nationwide to reduce the environmental impact of the electricity they
use."
Juice Energy can now offer their commercial and wholesale customers more
tailored energy products. By purchasing Juice Energy RECs, customers will
support currently available renewable resources as well as aid the
development of new renewable resources to be built in the U.S. Jon Moore,
CEO of Juice Energy, Inc., commented that "Green-e certification provides
customers with a way to identify high quality green power products and to
feel confident that their purchase is supporting real, verified renewable
energy development. For the certified retailer, it represents a
commitment to transparency and independent verification of sales and
marketing. This system has brought vital credibility to the expanding
green power market and is essential to its continued success."
The Green-e program is the leading renewable energy certification and
verification program in the U.S., with over 150 participating vendors who
sold over five million MWhs of renewable energy in 2005. The program
provides independent, third-party certification to ensure certified
renewable energy meets strict environmental and consumer protection
standards.
The Green-e logo, the national symbol for renewable energy excellence,
enables a growing number of consumers to easily identify high quality,
certified renewable energy options, as well as everyday consumer products
that are produced by companies that use renewable energy in their
operations.
Providers of Green-e certified renewable energy agree to abide by the
Green-e Code of Conduct, and meet strict Green-e disclosure and
truth-in-advertising requirements. All Green-e marketers undergo an annual
verification audit to document that the company purchased and/or generated
the quantity and type of renewable energy to meet customer demand and
marketing claims.
