A sustainable competitive marketplace is based upon customer knowledge and simplicity. We are promoting and simplifying the means for consumers to purchase their energy needs. Questions of individual purchase of renewable sources of energy generation are topics of consumer interest.
The founders of THREI were concerned with the direction renewable energy development was taking, both nationally and internationally. In the US, the states were competing with the federal government on renewable portfolio standards. Renewable project development was being subsidized by individual consumers who did not realize they were subsidizing renewable development. At the same time, these customers might be seeking to purchase renewable energy to satisfy a desire to “be green”.
