Additional GreenPrime Information & Certifications
GreenPrime is sourced from 100% renewable, carbon-free resources, such as solar and wind in California and on the western grid. The power mix of GreenPrime varies each year. Buying GreenPrime further expands generation from these new and competitive renewable energy sources.
The SVCE GreenPrime 100% Renewable Energy product is Green-e® Energy certified for 2023, meeting the environmental and consumer-protection standards set forth by the nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions. Learn more at www.green-e.org
Beginning in 2024, SVCE’s GreenPrime product will no longer be certified under the Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) Green-e® Energy program.

GreenPrime customers will continue to receive reports on their GreenPrime electricity via the annual Power Content Label and WREGIS.
