Through June 2026, we’ve delivered an average of 92% clean energy to our members, with some hours surpassing 100% and others dipping below, requiring supplemental non-renewable generation to meet demand.

Roughly 60% of our clean energy has come from projects built specifically for our members, providing electricity that is time-matched with Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). The remaining 40% is supplied by wholesale partners and is not time-matched.
