The BeGreen Story

At BeGreen, we provide our carbon offsets to consumers like you, ensuring that your purchases help take solid steps toward reducing your impact on global warming.

Our identity as a carbon offset provider is inextricably linked with our decade of experience supplying cleaner energy. Green Mountain Energy began in 1997 with a simple idea: “to change the way power is made”. Since then, Green Mountain has become the nation’s leading cleaner energy provider.

In 2006, we blazed a new trail, with the launch of our carbon offsetting division BeGreen. Since then, BeGreen has expanded to serve the needs of both our individual and business customers. The common thread among our diverse customer base is a dedication to living and working sustainably, a value embraced by Green Mountain. As the first renewable energy company to offer a carbon solutions product line, we emphasize that our vision reaches far beyond that of an electricity supplier.

BeGreen will help you find information about the causes and effects of global warming, how carbon offsets work and why they’re good for the environment, and where your money goes when you offset your carbon footprint with BeGreen.

Since our inception, Green Mountain Energy customers have helped avoid over 4,900,000 metric tons of CO₂. That has the equivalent environmental impact of taking over 870,000 cars off the road for one year or recycling over 24,000,000,000 aluminum cans.
