Sun Power Electric Green-e Certification Since 1997 Green-e has served as a nationally recognized tool to help consumers identify environmentally superior renewable energy offerings. To earn Green-e certification, products must originate from 100% newly built renewable facilities that generate energy from the sun, wind, heat of the Earth, low-impact hydropower, biogas or biofuels. The term "newly built" means that the power plants became operational after January 1, 1998. It is important that green power products support these new power plants because it ensures that our air quality is improving with each new facility that is introduced into the New England power system. Certified providers also agree to abide by the Green-e Code of Conduct, to submit marketing materials to the Center for Resource Solutions in order to meet Green-e disclosure and truth-in-advertising requirements, and to undergo a verification audit every year.
