More About Renewable Energy
Wind Power from WGL Energy is Green-e® Energy certified, and meets the environmental and consumer protection standards set forth by the nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions (CRS).
A Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) represents the environmental benefits of one megawatt hour (MWh) of renewable energy that can be paired with electricity. It is an economical way to choose clean electricity sourced from wind farms. Unlike conventional electricity sources such as oil and coal, wind power is emissions free and produces no harmful waste — making it better for the environment.
More about Carbon Offsets
You can choose natural gas from WGL Energy matched with carbon offsets to reduce your carbon footprint and support cleaner air and water. Customers who select our 100% carbon offset option counterbalance, or offset, the environmental impact of their natural gas usage.
Our carbon offsets are unique because they go one step further by also including investments in activities such as tree plantings that improve air and water quality. WGL Energy and its clean energy partner, Sterling Planet, jointly invest a portion of the proceeds into the Carbon Reduction Funds every time carbon offsets are purchased.
A carbon offset represents a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions made in one place to compensate for emissions created in another place.
