There has never been a better time to start using renewable energy, which has become more cost-effective than ever.
GEV Corp. has arranged the purchase of renewable energy certificates equivalent to 100% of electricity usage of several large commercial buildings in Chicago. These purchases have offset nearly all of the carbon emissions produced by these buildings at a price within the building’s utility budget.
The renewable energy certificate purchases have allowed these buildings to become 100% green with respect to their power purchases and thereby qualify for LEED certificates. We also arranged the purchase of renewable energy certificates equivalent to 20% of the electricity purchases for the Chicago Public Schools. This was the largest green energy purchase by a U.S. school district, saving over 195,000 tons of carbon emissions over the 3 year life of the contract.
Our team also advises customers on adoption of on-site renewable energy facilities. Additionally, GEV qualifies its customers for substantial payments by signing them up for peak demand curtailment programs. GEV also qualifies its clients for subsidies for implementation of energy efficiency measures. For further information on these programs, send an email to tgiordano@gevcorp.com.
