GreenPower is an independent, nonprofit organization established to
improve North Carolina’s environment through voluntary contributions
toward renewable energy and carbon offsets. A landmark initiative
approved by the N.C. Utilities Commission, NC GreenPower is the first
statewide green energy program in the nation supported by all the
state’s utilities and administered by
Advanced Energy, an independent nonprofit corporation located in
Raleigh, N.C. The goal of NC GreenPower is two-fold: to supplement the
state’s existing power supply with more green energy – electricity
generated from renewable resources like the sun, wind and organic matter
– and to support greenhouse gas mitigation through a carbon offset
program.
