Zero-Emissions Energy Program
Your organization can purchase energy from a block of power delivering zero carbon emissions. This Zero-Emissions Energy Program is available to large consumers of electricity to reduce electric supply costs and help offset a portion of participants’ carbon footprint. The zero-emissions block of power will be sourced from a nuclear generation asset. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, nuclear is the second largest source of low-carbon electricity in the world and produces more of it on less land than any other clean energy source.
How it works
1 |
Your company along with other large energy consumers come together to purchase a long-term block of energy at a price below normal market rates. |
2 |
Any additional supply needs outside of the program can be actively managed to meet budget and sustainability objectives. |
What is a block of energy?
A block of energy is a consistent volume of power meeting minimum base-load demand. The balance of energy above the Zero-Emissions block can be hedged in the market with traditional power.
