Sustainable Choice matches your electric consumption with Renewable Energy Certificates. If you are connected to utility energy data, we use your actual consumption. If you are not connected to utility, we average U.S. household electric consumption of 907 kilowatt hours (kWh) as a default. We track energy usage each month. At the end of every quarter, Sustainable Choice procures and retires RECs for the entire customer portfolio. The quarterly process ensures we can find the highest-quality RECs for each Sustainable Choice plan type while keeping prices affordable.
In our first year of operation, we will produce an annual REC report and make it available to all customers. In this report, customers will see the number of RECs retired and the source facilities. The report will also include the cumulative impact of the REC purchases made.
After the first year, Sustainable Choice will produce and share the REC report on a quarterly basis. Additionally, we are exploring how to best make the reports available in your personal dashboard to make them easy to find and review.
