"I am proud Sustainable Choice member of many years. No matter where you live, you can use Sustainable Choice to support our transition to a cleaner world."
"We were denied by our city to install solar panels or a small wind turbine; truly frustrating. We appreciate that we can use Sustainable Choice to support renewable energy even if we can’t produce it ourselves."
"As an avid runner and adventurer, I am concerned about the future of energy and our health. With Sustainable Choice, I can advance solar energy while living in a city apartment."
“Sustainable Choice fits our situation at this point better than direct installation on our property, so we feel fortunate to partner with you all and hopefully keep the ball rolling towards a more renewable and sustainable grid."
Overcome the Obstacles to Clean Energy

50% lack available options
Half of Americans say they lack awareness of available options or that where available there are long waitlists where they live or work.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
Sustainable Choice is a service making participation in renewable energy accessible and affordable to everyone, regardless of their living situation or the suitability of their property.
Sustainable Choice gives individuals and businesses a simple, effective way to support the shift to clean energy without needing the perfect roof, the ideal property, or property ownership. By purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), you increase demand for renewables, replace fossil fuels on the grid, and accelerate the transition to a cleaner, healthier energy system for everyone. It’s a practical way to take action and contribute to long-term change, no matter where you live or work.
RECs track and verify the production of renewable energy. Without RECs we cannot know or validate the amount of renewable energy on the U.S grid. Importantly, RECs provide a way for businesses and individuals to support renewable energy even if they can’t produce clean electricity onsite.
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) play a crucial role in supporting and incentivizing the development of renewable energy projects. Here’s how RECs benefit clean energy:
- Market Expansion: By creating a market for renewable energy, RECs help expand the demand for renewable energy. This market demand encourages the development of renewable energy projects, as developers can count on the revenue from REC sales to make their projects financially viable.
- Environmental Impact Recognition: RECs enable the separation of the environmental benefits of renewable energy from the physical electricity. This allows renewable energy facility owners to monetize the environmental benefit of their clean energy production, making it clear that their facilities contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants.
- Encouraging Investment: The existence of a robust REC market can make renewable energy projects more attractive to investors. Knowing that there is a market for RECs provides assurance that the project will have multiple revenue streams, thus reducing financial risk and encouraging investment in renewable energy infrastructure.
Sustainable Choice purchases Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) on your behalf, which gives you the ability to claim verified ownership of the renewable energy delivery to the grid and its environmental benefits. Each REC represents one megawatt-hour of clean power from solar, wind, or hydro delivered to the grid on your behalf. This gives you the legal right to claim the environmental benefits of that energy. All RECs are tracked and certified through national registries, so your impact is real, traceable, and meaningful.
No. Sustainable Choice is not a utility or electricity supplier. Your electricity will continue to come from your electric provider. When you participate in Sustainable Choice, you're purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), which certify the delivery of clean energy and its benefits into the national energy supply.
