What is accreditation, and why is it important?
Santee Cooper’s Green Power Program has achieved national Green-e certification through the Center for Resource Solutions, based in California. Green-e certified utility programs are verified annually for their power content making sure that the electricity provider selling the power has met the Green-e Program’s environmental and consumer protection standards. Green-e is the nation’s leading industry certification and verification program for renewable energy products. Electric companies who go through the accreditation process all have to sign CRS’s Code of Conduct and meet environmental as well as consumer protection standards. You can be sure that if a program is CRS accredited, it is truly a best practice green choice.
