Power Delivery Information

Through PaloAltoGreen, CPAU will continue to provide electricity to your premises. When you join PaloAltoGreen, CPAU purchases wind and solar renewable energy certificates equal to the amount of electricity you use. Renewable energy is delivered to various points on the electrical system. Once delivered to the system, renewable power mixes with power from other electrical generation plants. Because of this, CPAU cannot guarantee that the actual electricity generated from renewable sources is delivered to a specific home or business.

Green-e Energy Certified Renewable Energy

To ensure the environmental integrity of your purchase, all PaloAltoGreen renewable energy is verified through Green-e Energy, an independent third-party that acts on behalf of consumers. The Green-e logo helps consumers easily identify environmentally superior renewable energy options. For more information on Green-e Energy certification requirements, call 1-888-63-GREEN or log on to www.green-e.org.
