Green-e Certification
Green-e Certified Product Information
Juice Energy sells green power in the form of Green-e certified renewable electricity certificates (RECs). For every unit of renewable electricity generated, an equivalent number of renewable electricity certificates are produced.
Your purchase of green power from Juice results in the acquisition and retirement of RECs that support renewable electricity generation, avoiding the greenhouse gas emissions associated with conventional electricity generation. Greenhouse gas emissions are a major cause of global warming.

Detailed Information about Renewable Energy Certificates
When a renewable energy facility operates, it creates electricity that is delivered into a vast network of transmission wires, often referred to as “the grid.” The grid is segmented into regional power pools; in many cases these pools are not interconnected. To help facilitate the sale of renewable electricity nationally, a system was established that separates renewable electricity generation into two parts: the electricity or electrical energy produced by a renewable generator and the renewable “attributes” of that generation. The renewable attributes or “green” attributes are sold separately as renewable energy certificates (RECs). Only one certificate may be issued for each unit of renewable electricity produced.
With the purchase of RECs, you are buying the renewable attributes (i.e. environmental benefits) of a specific amount and type of renewable energy generation. You will continue to receive a separate bill for electricity. Your purchase of renewable certificates helps offset conventional electricity generation in the region where the renewable generator is located. Your purchase also helps build a market for renewable electricity and may have other local and global environmental benefits such as reduced global climate change and regional air pollution.
Juice’s REC products are verified and certified by the Green-e Renewable Energy Certification Program. Juice is required to disclose the quantity, type and geographic source of each REC. Please see the Product Content Label for this information. The Green-e Program also verifies that the RECs are not sold more than once or claimed by more than one party.
