Our Achievements:<\/strong><\/p>

We are proud to share that Clean Energy Columbus (CEC) has been recognized by the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL)\u2019s top 10 list, ranking 4th<\/sup> in Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) Green Power Sales. Since the program\u2019s start, around 5,883,648 megawatts per hour have been sold. CEC also ranked 10th<\/sup> in CCA Green Power Customers. We are proud to serve over 200,000 Columbus residents in total.<\/p>

\u201cWe are thrilled to receive this ranking.\u00a0 Ranking #4 in the country\u2014and #1 outside California\u2014for clean energy procurement shows how large and impactful our community choice aggregation program is and how Columbus is leading the country in the clean energy transition,\u201d says DPU Deputy Director Alana Shockey.<\/p>

Since 2000, NREL has collected data on utility green pricing programs each year<\/a> and ranked the \u201ctop 10\u201d green energy programs across the US based on total number of sales, total number of customers, and participation. NREL is a federally funded research development center partnered with the Department of Energy to support the production and adoption of clean energy research and technologies. CEC is honored to be recognized by NREL, and we will continue to work diligently to achieve each one of our sustainability goals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
