Green-e Made with Renewable Energy Labels

In order to use the label, companies that consume more than 100,000,000 kWh of power annually must purchase a minimum of 2% renewable power. At the other end of the scale, companies that consume less than 100,000 kWh must purchase at least 15% renewable power. For all companies, at least 50% of the minimum purchase must go to new renewables—generation facilities that have come online since 1997, and in New England since 1998. Over 10,000 businesses and 110,000 households currently use Green-e certified renewable energy, and several companies, including the Interface Fabrics Group, have already applied for authorized use of the “Made With Renewable Energy” label.
