Houston Signs Agreement With Texas Retail Provider
Copyright 2016 EnergyChoiceMatters.com.
The City of Houston has signed an agreement with Reliant Energy, an NRG Energy company, to increase its purchase of renewable power through at least June 2016.
The City said that it will also work to negotiate another 12-month extension of the contract.
The City said that with this increased renewable purchase, the City’s purchase of green power will account for 75% of its annual electricity demand. The City will be using more than 950,000 MWh of green power per year.
The City said that the purchase will place Houston as the largest municipal purchaser of renewable power in the nation, and in the top 10 overall in the nation, according to EPA estimates.
The City said that it has purchased renewable energy credits (RECs) that are Green-E certified.
