GreenPower Program
By participating in the Palmetto State’s only GreenPower voluntary program, you have the opportunity to make a difference in something important...improving our environment.
GreenPower is energy generated by renewable resources such as solar, wind and even decomposing garbage in selected landfills. These resources are replenished naturally and minimize harm to the environment.
Green-E Program
The Green-E Program certifies that GreenPower meets the minimal environmental and consumer protection standards established by the non-profit Center for Resource Solutions. For more information on Green-e certification requirements, call 1-888-63-GREEN.
Environmental Impact
