Green Story

Founded in 2005, Glacial Energy is one of the fastest growing retail energy marketers, selling electricity and natural gas in deregulated markets throughout the United States where they serve residential, commercial, industrial and institutional customers in over 20 states and 50 utility markets. Their expertise, quality of service and wide range of products make them one of the most competitive, flexible and cost-effective providers in the industry.

Glacial Energy offers Green-E certified Renewable Energy Credits, giving their customers the option to reduce their greenhouse emissions and impact on the environment. In the short term, the Glacial Green Energy program helps meet customer demand for greener processes. In the long term, green products support renewable energy initiatives such as wind, steam, hydroelectric and tidal, helping to ease stress on the grid and allowing for the expansion of green initiatives to help meet future needs.

Glacial Energy buys renewable energy certificates (RECs), which represent the environmental attributes of one MWH (megawatt hour) of electricity generated from renewable resources. For every REC that Glacial Energy purchases on your behalf, you will receive 1 LEED credit point. RECs provide direct financial support to renewable energy projects and buildings seeking to meet LEED benchmark standards can receive various ascending levels of recognition (Certified, Gold, Silver, and Platinum). Green-e certified RECs can be used to gain credits under LEED.

Glacial Green can be a positive initiative and utilized by any business, but those with a lot of foot traffic especially benefit by displaying the Glacial Green certificate and decals for their customers to see. This will help attract additional customers who will note the obvious commitment to renewable resources and the environment.
