Solution: Renewable energy can be a key element of a customer’s strategies for energy management and climate protection as these energy sources add little to no carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Those within a company who are responsible for purchasing energy know that decisions for switching the sourcing of their energy requirements to renewable or alternative energy supply holds a major potential impact on finances, as well as impact on the environment. Strategies must be considered for these and other dynamics in shaping actionable, economic plans.

Prenova works with those companies interested in renewable energy for their portfolio to assess opportunities across the market and the customer's portfolios. Our experts analyze and identify various options, whether it be purchasing green electricity (solar, wind, hydro, or geo) for a particular facility or region, or buying Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) to offset a carbon footprint or working to gain green building certifications. Our processes determine which product best meets customer needs to ensure economic and operational feasibility, while balancing environmental impact such as targeted emissions reductions and conservation of resources.

Outcome: Currently, renewable resources provide over 6 percent of the total U.S. energy according to The Renewable Path to Energy Security. Renewable energy initiatives tied with energy efficiency improvements in a customer’s operations can greatly impact the U.S. energy system and save natural resources. Use of renewable energy allows our customers to reduce the pressure on depletion of natural resources and decrease their greenhouse gas emissions, which are critical contributions to climate protection.
