GREEN-E CERTIFIES ACCENT ENERGY’S GOGREEN & GOGREENPREMIUM (NY)

New Yorkers Can Sign Up for Certified Renewable Power for Home or Business Use

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (September 27, 2006)-- The Center for Resource Solutions announced today that Accent Energy’s GoGreen & GoGreenPremium products offered in New York are now Green-e certified. Ohio-based Accent Energy is a part of the largest network of renewable energy providers who offer products certified by the nation’s leading certification and verification program.

"GoGreen and GoGreenPremium provide millions of New Yorkers the opportunity to switch to renewable energy generated in their own state," said Lars Kvale, Green-e analyst. "By certifying these high quality renewable energy products, Accent Energy has shown its commitment to follow Green-e standards that ensure Accent customers are getting what they pay for."

The renewable energy for Accent Energy’s GoGreen and GoGreenPremium products comes from wind farms located in New York State. This energy meets strict Green-e standards for eligible renewable energy.

“Accent Energy is committed to supporting the development and adoption of renewable energy sources. Certifying our GoGreen and GoGreen Premium products demonstrates that resolve and more importantly shows our commitment to providing our customers with superior value and service,” said Lance Schneier, chairman and chief executive officer of Accent Energy. “Our customers can be confident that they are doing their part by purchasing 100 percent renewable energy from Accent Energy.”

The Green-e Program is the leading renewable energy certification and verification program in the U.S., with 140 participating vendors who sold over five million MWhs of renewable energy in 2005. The program provides independent, third party certification to ensure certified renewable energy meets strict environmental and consumer protection standards.

Through the display and recognition of the Green-e logo, the national symbol for renewable energy excellence, a growing number of consumers are able to easily identify high quality, certified renewable energy options, as well as everyday consumer products that are “Made with Certified Renewable Energy.”

Providers of Green-e certified renewable energy agree to abide by the Green-e Code of Conduct, and meet strict Green-e disclosure and truth-in-advertising requirements. All Green-e marketers undergo an annual verification audit to document that the company purchased or generated enough quantity and type of renewable energy to meet customer demand and marketing claims.
