Renewable energy, also known as green energy, generally refers to electricity generated by resources that replenish themselves naturally, such as the sun, wind, earth, and water. Although the exact definition of “renewable” fuels varies depending on the governing program, law or regulations, they typically include solar, biomass, wind, hydro, and geothermal.
Customers that want to invest in alternative energy have more choices than ever. Solar, Wind, Biomass, Hydrogen, Geothermal, Ocean and Hydropower are replenishable resources that are replacing coal, oil and natural gas. These alternative sources currently account for almost 1/5 of all electric consumption in the world, with no signs of slowing down.
