摘要

The “voluntary” or “green power” market is that in which consumers and institutions voluntarily purchase renewable energy to match all or part of their electricity needs. Voluntary action provides a revenue stream for renewable energy projects and raises consumer awareness of the benefits of renewable energy. There are numerous ways consumers and institutions can purchase renewable energy. Historically, the voluntary market has consisted of three market sectors: (1) utility green pricing programs (in states with regulated electricity markets), (2) competitive suppliers (in states with restructured electricity markets), and (3) unbundled renewable electricity certificate (REC) markets, where RECs are purchased by consumers separately from electricity (“unbundled”). This analysis, for the first year, also includes an assessment of an emerging sector, (4) community choice aggregation (CCA). CCAs allow communities to collectively choose the source of their electricity generation while maintaining transmission and distribution service from their existing provider. Many CCAs are sourcing significant amounts of renewable energy. The voluntary market continued to exhibit growth and stimulate renewable energy development in 2013. Interest in products that have direct impact on renewable energy development is increasing. Utilities have begun offering programs for large industrial customers and are incorporating more local solar resources into their product mixes. CCAs are examining ways to buy local renewable resources. Large corporate purchasers in the internet and communications technology (ICT) sector are turning towards direct investment, long-term contracting, and other mechanisms to spur voluntary renewable energy development and/or realize financial gain. These customers are unique in that they have large, stable, long-term electricity load; they are purchasing in states with restructured electricity markets where there are opportunities for financial benefit. Based on our review of the voluntary market, we identified the following market trends:
