Going Green with Renewable Energy Credits

Houston, TX (PRWEB) March 26, 2008

Energy customers nationwide can easily enjoy the positive environmental benefits of each megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity or natural gas service they purchase. GreenEnergyChoice.com, an online service that allows customers to compare and order affordable renewable energy plans from leading energy companies, is also offering customers the option to offset their carbon emissions by purchasing Renewable Energy Credits (RECs).

RECs represent one MWh of renewable electricity delivered somewhere on the grid, replacing power generated from traditional fossil fuels with 100 percent pollution-free energy. RECs are an easy option to replace non-renewable power on the energy grid with power derived from renewable resources, helping to protect the environment for future generations.

GreenEnergyChoice stresses the following benefits of offsetting energy usage by purchasing Renewable Energy Credits:

•     Purchasing RECs allows customers to offset their energy usage without changing or affecting their energy service
•     Great option to go green for customers in areas where renewable energy plans may not be available

Using the provided calculator, GreenEnergyChoice customers enter the amount of their monthly bill, state and type of energy service to estimate how many pounds of carbon are emitted monthly. Using the fast and free online ordering system, customers can then purchase the equivalent RECs needed to offset their emissions. GreenEnergyChoice also features a Green Guide of renewable energy resources and news, as well as the ability to compare and order service from leading green energy companies.
