Austin, TX September 26, 2013 -- Green Mountain Energy Company pioneers another renewable energy milestone with the launch of the first Texas residential electricity plan backed by 100 percent solar energy, SolarSPARC™ (Smart People Accelerating Renewable Change) electricity. Texans who choose this product will not only be powering their home with 100 percent solar energy, they will also be supporting the development of new solar in the state while receiving credit for the facilities they help fund. Solar energy is a clean, abundant source of renewable energy but adoption in Texas to date is well below its potential.
“For the first time, Texas consumers can choose 100 percent solar electricity for their home– even if they can’t put it on their roof,” says Shay Ohrel, product innovation manager, Green Mountain Energy Company. “The SolarSPARC product enables customers to help us ‘change the way power is made’ by proving demand for solar and leveraging our experience in renewable energy to bring more clean electricity options to Texas.”
