Renewable Energy Procurement
CES helps clients purchase renewable energy from 3rd party suppliers in both voluntary and compliance markets. CES will help you understand the many different products and options that are available to green your power usage. Pricing for products such as renewable energy credits (RECs) can vary greatly depending on factors including: source, supplier, vintage, pending legislation, certification and geographic location.
