Sustainability

ADVISORY SERVICES

The energy markets are undergoing change as climate concerns influence government policy, capital allocation, and behavior. This transition is providing tremendous opportunities for businesses to embrace their sustainability goals. Brilliant Source Energy provides fully integrated solutions to support your climate-related goals. We partner with you to understand your immediate and long-term goals, CAPEX flexibility, and other existing challenges. Together, we will find comprehensive solutions to successfully achieve your sustainability, cost, and time objectives.

Emission Free Carbon Free Power (EFEC)

An Emission-Free Energy Certificate (EFEC) represents a specific amount of emission-free power produced by a nuclear generator. Regardless of your energy provider, your business can be carbon free through EFECs. Also, EFECs can be purchased to offset your natural gas consumption.

Nuclear generation is one of the primary sources of clean energy in the US, and EFECs help to provide revenue to keep nuclear plants operating by compensating them for the carbon free power they create.
RENEWABLE ENERGY CERTIFICATE (REC)

A renewable energy certificate (REC) is a market-based instrument that represents the property rights to the environmental, social, and other non-power attributes of renewable electricity generation. Renewable sources like wind, hydro and solar are primary sources of clean energy. In addition to being paid for the electricity they provide to the grid, these renewable energy generators also receive Renewable Energy Certificates, or RECs, based on the amount of power they generate.

You can purchase these RECs in one megawatt-hour (MWh) increments to offset your non-renewable energy consumption.

ON-SITE SOLAR

Solar power not only contributes to your carbon-free energy goals, but it also helps reduce your operating expenses. BSE develops custom on-site solutions that provide supply assurance, minimizes impact of market conditions, and navigates the dynamics of federal, state, and municipal rebate and tax programs. Plus, we facilitate the installation and maintenance of the system.

COMMUNITY SOLAR

Community Solar helps bring the benefits of solar power to people who cannot install their own solar panel solution. Under a Community Solar program, local residents share the output of a single large solar installation. You can subscribe to a local solar farm to offset your brown energy consumption and reduce your electricity costs.

VIRTUAL POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT [PPA]

Solar Power Purchase Agreements [PPA] provides businesses the benefits of solar power without the financial investment of purchasing, installing, and maintaining a solar panel array. BSE manages the costs, including the equipment, installation, and maintenance. This solution helps you achieve your sustainability goals and reduces your electricity costs.

ELECTRICAL VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE

As the use of electric vehicles (EV) continues to increase, the need for onsite charging stations becomes integral. The number of passenger and commercial light truck EV’s on U.S. roads is projected to reach 25.2 million in 2030, up from 3.0 million. By providing reliable charging stations, you can improve the experience for your visitors, customers, and employees. This also can provide you with additional revenue while helping to contribute to your sustainability objectives.

WIND POWER GENERATION

BSE facilitates the planning, implementation, and management of wind power generation. Wind power utilizes turbines to harness the power of the wind to generate electricity. Wind power is clean and renewable, without burning any fossil fuels or polluting the air, propelling your sustainability initiatives forward.

HYDRO POWER GENERATION

BSE provides comprehensive consulting services for hydroelectric power generation. Managing and implementing hydro processes is one of the most established and largest sources of renewable energy. By harnessing the flow of water, energy can be captured via turbines to generate electricity. Hydro Power is a clean and sustainable resource, supporting your green energy plans.
