Liberty Power, an independent retail electric supplier, donated renewable energy certificates to match 100 percent of the estimated electricity usage at the 2018 conference of Northwest Mountain Minority Supplier Development Council on June 12.
The Northwest Mountain Minority Supplier Development Council facilitates growth and expansion of minority-owned business through certification, development, connection and advocacy.
According to the EPA, because the physical electricity we receive through the utility grid says nothing of its origin or how it was generated, renewable energy certificates play an important role in accounting, tracking, and assigning ownership to renewable electricity generation and use.
At the June 12 Northwest Mountain MSDC conference, Liberty Power supplied enough renewable energy certificates to match the estimated consumption for the duration of the event at University of Washington in Seattle.
“We are excited to demonstrate the commitment of the Northwest Mountain MSDC and Liberty Power to sustainability by purchasing RECs to offset the consumption of the 2018 Annual Conference in Seattle, WA,” said David Hernandez, co-founder & CEO of Liberty Power.
Fernando Martinez, president & CEO, Northwest Mountain MSDC commended the company for its renewable energy certificates.
“Liberty Power’s continued support for Northwest Mountain MSDC is commendable, and we are proud to call them a trusted partner and friend. Their leadership in the energy sector is marked by visionary initiatives — including making our Annual Conference ‘green’ for the first time,'” Martinez said.
Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Liberty Power is also the first certified, minority-owned supplier with a national footprint, and the largest Hispanic-owned energy company in the United States according to Hispanic Business. Liberty Power provides large and small businesses, government agencies and residential customers with low-cost electricity and exceptional customer service.
