How green is Champion Energy?
Champion Energy is one of the cleanest power generators in the US. As the company’s website explains ‘Champion Energy can provide green power through the purchase of an environmental trading commodity known as a renewable energy credit (REC). RECs are created when a qualified renewable energy generation facility (like a wind farm or solar array) produces electricity.’
In Champion Energy’s green plans, electricity comes mainly from geothermal sources.
Customers of Champion Energy can enjoy 100% green energy options, which makes the supplier a perfect choice for those who care about the environment. Also, those who switch to more environmentally friendly LED lightbulbs can receive a credit for up to $50 to purchase them. On top of that, thanks to the partnership between Champion Energy and Second Nature, customers can receive a free set of air filters.
