Brilliant Source Energy Gives Back with $15,000 to Second Harvest Food Bank

Clean energy is on the rise in the United States. More people are purchasing electric vehicles and renewable energy markets are growing. While the country is making progress towards a greener future, this progress could come to a screeching halt if the electric infrastructure does not receive an overdue upgrade.

Our planet faces a wide range of environmental challenges, like pollution, climate change, loss of biodiversity, and deforestation. Throughout the years, Earth Day has become more and more important.

If your organization is working toward decarbonization, one of the first places to start is Scope 2 emissions—the indirect emissions from the electricity, heating, and cooling you purchase.
While Scope 1 emissions (from owned vehicles or combustion on-site) are highly specific to operations, and Scope 3 (value chain emissions) can be hard to control, Scope 2 is measurable, reportable, and actionable.

The U.S. energy landscape is shifting—and fast. Utility rates are climbing across several regions, and commercial and industrial consumers are beginning to feel the impact. Behind the rise: a complex mix of natural gas volatility, aging infrastructure, growing electrification, and a national transition toward cleaner, more resilient power sources like nuclear energy.

Achieving carbon neutrality is increasingly important for businesses worldwide. While the journey to sustainability can involve complex changes, Emission-Free Energy Certificates (EFECs) offer an effective, accessible solution that provides immediate benefits without operational disruptions. EFECs make it easy for businesses to offset their carbon footprint and support the production of clean energy, all while maintaining affordability and reliability.

We know, learning and remembering all of the terms that come along with the energy industry can be tough. But no worries – we’re here
