Pacific Power’s Blue Sky Participants Receive National Recognition for Green Power Sales

Thanks to Pacific Power’s Blue Sky program participants, the popular renewable energy program ranked first in overall green pricing sales in a national study by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

NREL recently released its ranking of leading utility green power programs based on 2023 data and recognized the top 10 outstanding green power programs. For the 22nd consecutive year, Pacific Power’s Blue Sky program, which includes voluntary customer participation, is being recognized.

“Blue Sky participants are making an impact by supporting additional renewable energy generation and valuable local community projects,” said Shawn Grant, director of customer solutions. “We’re proud of our Blue Sky customers for their constant commitment to renewables, which helped achieve this national recognition.”

“Our Blue Sky participants voluntarily support this program and continue to bring renewable energy awareness into the forefront of everyday life. They lead the way toward a more robust renewable energy future while making meaningful changes in our communities,” said Grant.

Pacific Power scored first in the top 10 list for green power sales, based on December 2023 data.

Blue Sky allows participants to match their energy usage with the purchase of renewable energy credits. It’s an effortless way for participants to support renewable energy in the West, above and beyond Pacific Power’s substantial and growing commitment to renewable generation.

In addition to supporting renewable energy in the West, funds from Blue Sky participants’ support have allowed Pacific Power to partner with community organizations to fund more than 161 local renewable energy projects over the years. These projects have helped community organizations save money on electricity costs and reinvest those funds to support their missions in the communities Pacific Power serves.
