Commercial and industrial entities face pressure on a variety of fronts to green their energy portfolios. Increasingly, consumers prefer doing business with organizations that have progressive environmental policies and beliefs. Partners and suppliers face the same pressure and are looking for consistent commitments up and down the value chain. The general public, too, has created a groundswell of support for going green.
While there is currently is no national legislation in the US requiring industry to meet greenhouse gas emissions targets, there are state and regional initiatives on the horizon that promise to do just that.
For commercial and industrial customers, there are several components to consider. If we green our portfolio, by what percentage: 5%, 10%, or more? And in what timeframe: over the next year, five years, longer? And finally, what commodities will we use to met our goals: green power, renewable energy certificates, carbon credits?
