Corporate Sponsorship
Take a positive step for North Carolina and help reduce negative impacts on the environment
NC GreenPower is a cost-effective way for companies to send a positive message that can increase sales, improve customer and employee loyalty, and earn your community’s respect. Plus, supporting NC GreenPower can help to provide a cleaner environment, which means a greener future and healthier, more productive employees. Become a Corporate Sponsor with as little as a $100 monthly donation, and we’ll create a customized marketing benefits package that best suits your needs. To support North Carolina renewable energy projects, you can donate $2.50 per “block” of 250 kilowatt-hours, with a minimum of 40 blocks (or $100) per month. To support North Carolina carbon offset projects, you can donate $4.00 per “block” of 1,000 pounds. View our brochure here.
Purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates and Carbon Offsets
Renewable energy certificates (RECs) may be purchased to meet a sustainability requirement or goal, to offset your company’s electric usage, or simply to go green. If you need carbon offsets to meet a sustainability requirement or goal, you can purchase them at the same cost of $4.00 per block of 1,000 pounds. Purchases of more than $15,000 may qualify for our Brokered Bid product, a more competitive option provided through a custom quote. To learn more or to request a quote, contact Vicky McCann at 919-857-9010.
Whether you are developing your environmental initiative or just looking for ways to strengthen it, NC GreenPower can help. You can incorporate renewable energy and carbon offsets into your sustainability practices with donating or purchasing RECs and carbon offsets from NC GreenPower.
