April 28, 2003—The Green-e Program of the Center for Resource Solutions has approved Evolution Markets to transact Green-e certified Tradable Renewable Certificates (TRCs). To earn Green-e certification, TRC products must originate entirely from new renewable facilities that generate energy from the sun, the wind, the heat of the Earth, low-impact hydropower, biogas, or biofuels. Providers of certified products undergo an annual verification process audit to document that the company purchased the quantity and type of renewable certificates needed to meet customer demand and consistent with marketing claims.
The agreement will enable Evolution Markets to offer certified renewable certificate products to the wholesale market on a regional and national basis. Eligible generators who transact through Evolution Markets will be able to sell their renewable certificates in the market for Green-e products, thereby enhancing the value of the certificates and expanding the markets available to them.
