HOUSTON, Nov. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Gexa Energy, a
leading Texas retail electricity
provider, announced today that it has reached its goal of shifting
all residential plans to 100% renewable energy and providing every
residential customer with green power at no additional cost.
A recent study showed that 70% of Americans expect electricity
generation to become cleaner over
time.1 Gexa Energy has boldly
responded to that demand. In August
2019 Gexa announced that it planned to make the delivery of
green power a strategic focus and source all electricity plans from
clean energy.
Today's announcement is an important milestone for that
initiative, which benefits every one of the company's 200,000-plus
residential customers.
"Renewable energy truly is our future," said Gexa Energy
President Brian Landrum. "Renewable
energy is good for customers and the environment, and increasingly,
the economics of renewable energy make it good for business,
too. It's a win all around, and we've got big plans for the state
of Texas."
Gexa is also part of environmental efforts extending well beyond
the Lone Star State. Gexa's parent company, NextEra Energy
Resources, is the world's largest generator of renewable energy
from the wind and sun. The company currently operates more than
19,000 megawatts of wind and solar generation in North
America.
Gexa Energy is able to offer 100% green electricity plans by
purchasing and retiring renewable energy certificates (RECs) from
wind and solar producers to match its customers' electricity usage.
Each REC represents one megawatt-hour of green power that has been
added to the grid. Buying RECs helps fund further development of
green energy efforts.
"Gexa is very proud to offer Texans affordable green energy
plans at no extra cost," Landrum said. "And we're fully committed
to keep introducing additional plans, products and services that
help people consume energy
wisely."
