Project Costs for Renewable Generation Projects in the Pacific

Ever considered generating your own renewable heat? Technology like biomass boilers, ground source heat pumps and solar thermal systems can help reduce your bills, give you a warmer home and cut your carbon footprint.

Green Energy Consumers developed the model of “Green Municipal Aggregation.” Also known as community choice aggregation, this model allows communities to bulk purchase electricity for residents with an emphasis on adding more renewable energy than required by state law. We have released three reports about Green Municipal Aggregation, with the latest released in July 2022. "Green Power at a Lower Cost" analyzed GMA programs across Massachusetts and showed they were successful at driving growth of wind, solar, anaerobic digestion, and low-impact hydro on our grid, and were also more affordable than the utilities' Basic Service product.

Global carbon emissions associated with energy consumption has remained stable in 2014, despite an overall increase in energy use. This is attributed, in-part, to an increased penetration of renewable energy (REN21, 2015). 95 GW of solar and wind power capacity has been installed in 2014 and investments in renewable energy has increased by 17% to USD 270.2 billion in 2014. The share of renewables (excluding large hydro) in global electricity generation increased to 9.1%.
