Our Achievements:
We are proud to share that Clean Energy Columbus (CEC) has been recognized by the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL)’s top 10 list, ranking 4th in Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) Green Power Sales. Since the program’s start, around 5,883,648 megawatts per hour have been sold. CEC also ranked 10th in CCA Green Power Customers. We are proud to serve over 200,000 Columbus residents in total.
“We are thrilled to receive this ranking. Ranking #4 in the country—and #1 outside California—for 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,” says DPU Deputy Director Alana Shockey.
Since 2000, NREL has collected data on utility green pricing programs each year and ranked the “top 10” 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.
