Renewable Power Direct Announces Alliance With Retail Supplier to Offer Renewable Power to Businesses

Renewable Power Direct (RPD) announced an alliance with XOOM Energy to provide commercial and industrial customers with delivery options for renewable electricity in the Texas, New York, New England and Mid Atlantic markets that are open for retail access.

Renewable Power Direct said that the alliance brings together RPD's wholesale platform for sourcing renewable power directly from local wind and solar generators with XOOM's retail energy marketing services.

Business customers that want physical renewable power delivered to their facilities -- and not just Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) -- can now engage RPD to source the wholesale renewable supply and XOOM to provide and manage the retail services, such as load following.

RPD said that XOOM Energy is active in over 75 competitive utility markets across the U.S.

RPD said that it will use its wholesale platform to balance the variable output of wind and solar supply, and provide a firm wholesale renewable electricity product to XOOM for redelivery to the customer.
