PSO Gets Green-e Certified For WindChoice Program

Sourced from 100 percent Oklahoma wind power, WindChoice is the only certified green power option in the state and is available to PSO’s residential and commercial customers, governmental organizations, school districts and educational institutions.
“We are pleased that households and businesses in Oklahoma now have a certified wind option from resources within their home state,” says Green-e Energy Manager Alex Pennock. “Oklahoma is rich in wind power, and now residents can take advantage of their resources to power their lives with clean energy from their own backyard.”
joins a growing network of renewable energy providers that offer products certified by Green-e Energy. The program provides independent, third party certification to ensure renewable energy meets strict environmental and consumer protection standards.
Providers of Green-e Energy Certified renewable energy agree to abide by the Green-e Energy Code of Conduct, and meet strict disclosure and truth-in-advertising requirements. All marketers of Green-e Energy Certified products undergo an annual third-party verification audit to document that the company purchased or generated enough quantity and type of renewable energy to meet customer demand and marketing claims.
“PSO is proud to offer Oklahoma residents their first certified 100 percent renewable energy option,” says Kathy Champion, energy efficiency and consumer programs manager. “We think it’s important that the energy we use comes from domestic energy supplies as much as possible and we think Oklahoma can continue to be a leader in the clean energy revolution.”
