Green-e® Product Content Label
2026 Renewable Energy Certificate Prospective Product Content Label1
This is a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) product and does not contain electricity. A REC represents the environmental benefits of 1 megawatt hour (MWh) of renewable energy that can be paired with electricity. For more information visit: www.green-e.org/rec
The Multiple Mix Product is sold in blocks of 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh). For each year under contract as defined within the Commercial Terms, the Multi Mix Product will be made up of the following renewable resources.
| Green-e® Energy Certified New Renewables2 | % | Generation Location |
|---|---|---|
| Wind, Solar, Biomass, Landfill Gas, Geothermal, or Hydroelectric3 | 100% | Any of the 50 United States of America or Canada |
1. These figures reflect the renewables that we have contracted to provide. Actual figures may vary according to resource availability. 3Degrees will annually report to you before August 1 of next year in the form of a Historic Product Content Label the actual resource mix of the RECs you purchased. Your Commercial Terms may stipulate that 3Degrees will Deliver a more specific Product mix than what is described in the Product Content Label and each of these individual sales will be audited annually within our Multiple Mix Product. 3Degrees will provide an Attestation upon each Delivery disclosing the specific regions, technologies and facilities that supplied the RECs for your purchase. The Product defined in your Commercial Terms will be Delivered within the timeframes set within the Commercial Terms.
2. New Renewables come from generation facilities that first began commercial operation within the past 15 years. This Product may include generation from facilities that were approved for extended use under a strict set of criteria by Green-e® Energy and/or qualify as repowered.
3. Eligible hydroelectric facilities are defined in the Green-e® Renewable Energy Standard For Canada and the United States (www.green-e.org/standard) and include facilities certified by the Low Impact Hydropower Institute (LIHI) (www.lowimpacthydro.org) or EcoLogo (www.ecologo.org); and facilities comprised of a turbine in a pipeline or a turbine in an irrigation canal.
4. The Green-e® Energy Standard requires that renewable electricity and RECs generated in or delivered to California must be matched with greenhouse gas (GHG) emission allowances retired on behalf of the generation. This ensures that California customers are using renewable electricity or RECs that contribute to GHG reductions above and beyond what is required by state regulatory policies. In 2024, the pool of free voluntary allowances from the state's Voluntary Renewable Energy Program (VREP) was depleted, and there is uncertainty around when more allowances will become available. The Green-e® Governance Board has approved a waiver allowing Green-e® certified products with VREP-eligible 2025 supply to not purchase GHG allowances to make up for the lack of free allowances. As a result, California allowances will not be retired on behalf of calendar year 2025 renewable MWh generation provided to customers of the Multiple Mix Product, and this product therefore supported compliance with state GHG reduction programs rather than going above and beyond statewide emissions regulations. To learn more about VREP, please visit the California Air Resources Board's website. To learn more about the Green-e® certification program, please visit green-e.org.
For comparison, the current average mix of resources supplying the U.S. includes: Coal (30.1%), Nuclear (20%), Oil (.5%), Natural Gas (31.7%), Hydroelectric (7.5%), Wind (6.3%), Biomass (1.6%), Solar (1.3%) and Other (.7%). This resource mix was prepared in accordance with the U.S. Energy Information Administration as of March 7, 2018.
If the purchase was for a non-specific blend of resources, the particular supply Delivered will be determined through the optimization of the 3Degrees REC portfolio. For specific information about this REC Product, please contact 3Degrees Group, Inc., 866-445-8724, 3degreesinc.com
