What is Net-100% renewable energy?
- Net-100% renewable energy means purchasing the amount of electricity from renewable energy resources in equal amount to the electricity consumed in one year. A community will still use fossil-fuel-generated electricity, but this electricity use is offset by the amount of electricity generated via new renewable energy resources, preferably located in Utah.
