What Makes Up a Green Electricity Plan?
Green electricity is used to describe power generation technologies that produce kilowatt-hours without greenhouse gas emissions, and using renewable energy inputs. Solar panels and wind turbines are two examples of green electricity sources in Texas. A green electricity plan contains at least one of several renewable energy sources such as:
- Wind power
- Solar power
- Hydroelectricity
- Geothermal power*
- Biomass power**
- Tidal power
- Wave power
*Geothermal power plants produce emissions, since they release underground compounds that are considered air pollutants. However, they produce 97% less sulfur compounds and 99% less carbon dioxide than a fossil fuel power plant of equal size.
**Biomass power plants use renewable biofuels as energy inputs, but they produce emissions due to combustion.
The Future of Renewable, Green Energy in Texas
- The amount of “green” electricity used in the residential sector has steadily increased since 2006 thanks to providers Green Mountain Energy and Chariot Energy.
