5. Emissions are
lower (and will
continue to fall)
Renewable Portfolio
Standard and Clean
Energy Standard (new
policy) require more clean
energy every year.
• At launch, 11% of our
electricity was green.
• In 2018, 16% will be
green.
• The percentage of
green power will now
increase by 2%/year.
You can buy green power
to match 25% or 100% of
your electricity
consumption.
