What makes us the industry leader?

As one of the first in the renewable energy market eight years ago, we have more knowledge and experience marketing renewable energy products than any other supplier in the market today. Since our inception, we have delivered over six billion kilowatt hours of renewable energy into the market.

We have helped spur the development of over 180 MWs of new wind and solar projects throughout the U.S. — including the first wind farm in Pennsylvania and the first utility scale wind farm in Ohio.

The Green Mountain Energy brand is recognized by residential and commercial consumers across the nation and we maintain close relationships with environmental industry leaders through our Environmental Advisory Board.
