Happy New Year From CRS and Green-e Green-e Press Release 2005 GREEN-E CERTIFIES NEW RENEWABLE ENERGY PRODUCT OFFERED BY SKY ENERGY Growing Market for Green-e Certified Energy at 3 Billion KWh in 2003 SAN FRANCISCO, CA (January 4, 2005)- The Green-e Program of the Center for Resource Solutions announced today that Wind Energy Credits™ sold by SKY energy Inc. are now Green-e Certified. SKY energy™ joins the largest network of high quality renewable energy providers, and offers its customers assurance by the nation's leading certification and verification program that they are getting the superior wind energy they pay for. SKY energy, Inc. was founded in 2002 to provide clean renewable energy to companies, institutions, and households. Co-founder Brian Weninger envisioned the company in 1997 and began researching how to start and build a company that would meet the needs of present and future generations. SKY energy™ focuses on and contributes to the growth of energy sources that are both self-sustaining and non-polluting through a national direct marketing and sales organization. SKY energy™ provides Wind Energy Credits™ to customers to proactively reduce global warming and mitigate pollution, while also supporting the continued development and generation of wind power. Wind Energy Credits™ are renewable energy certificates (also called "Green Tags") created when a wind power facility generates electricity. Each certificate represents the attributes or benefits of 100% new renewable generation and is sold separately from the electricity. When a customer buys a Wind Energy Credits™, they buy the environmental benefit of displacing non-renewable power sources such as oil, gas and nuclear from the national grid. Brian Weninger states, "Remember when you purchase Wind Energy Credits™, you are 'Fighting Pollution One Revolution at a Time!'" "Our company is working to create a cleaner and more sustainable environment, one that benefits and continually improves individual health and environmental stewardship," said Co-founder Michael Tavernetti. "Through Green-e certification of Wind Energy Credits™, our customers can be assured that they are having a positive impact on our shared environment and getting what they pay for." Green-e is the national symbol for renewable energy excellence. As the leading renewable energy certification and verification program in the US, Green-e provides independent, third party certification to ensure renewable energy products meet strict environmental and consumer protection standards. Green-e's verification protects customers from paying for renewable energy that is"double sold" to other customers or used simultaneously to meet regulatory mandates. Through the Green-e logo, growing numbers of consumers are able to easily identify high quality renewable energy that they can trust, as well as everyday consumer products that are "made with certified renewable energy." "Through the purchase of Wind Energy Credits™, consumers help reduce our nation's dependence on fossil fuels to produce electricity, and contribute to the reduction of harmful air pollutants," said Gabe Petlin, of the Center for Resource Solutions. "Green-e certification means corporate, government and residential customers who buy renewable energy certificates can be confident they are receiving the environmental benefits of green power as well as helping to expand the market for clean renewable energy." One hundred marketers and utilities throughout North America now offer Green-e certified renewable energy products. Collectively these suppliers sold 3 billion kWh of certified renewable energy in 2003. SKY energy™ will undergo an annual verification audit to document that the company purchased or generated enough quantity and type of renewable certificates to meet customer demand and marketing claims. Providers of green-e certified renewable energy agree to abide by the Green-e Code of Conduct, and to submit marketing materials to CRS to meet Green-e disclosure and truth-in-advertising requirements.
