One Bill, Serious Carbon Emission Savings In a nutshell, utility - based green power programs work like this: Rather than have your utility itself generate the electricity you use (most likely from mostly fossil fuel sources), you sign up with a third
party electricity producer who uses renewable energy.
In particular, the purchase is to be freely agreed between the
electricity provider and the third
party producer, and is not subject to any threshold or ceiling established by the public authorities.
