Green Mountain Energy and Standard Renewable Energy Give Green

Earlier this week Green Mountain Energy and Standard Renewable Energy (SRE) donated and funded solar panels to Workshop Houston, non-profit organization that provides after school programs to Houston children.

The donated solar panels will offset approximately 5,900 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) each year, the equivalent of planting 354 trees or not driving 6,554 miles annually. Green Mountain Energy and SRE sure know how to give a green gift back to a community!

Seth Capron, co-founder of Workshop Houston said, "The solar array will help us save money on our electricity costs, reduce our carbon footprint and promote renewable energy in the surrounding community. This is an exciting example of Houston businesses and the community teaming up to make our community and environment better."

This marks the fourth solar energy project that Green Mountain Energy and SRE have done together under the Big Texas Sun Club program. This unique program allows Green Mountain Energy customers to donate $5 on their monthly bill to go towards solar energy installation projects.
