SAN FRANCISCO, CA (May 29, 2012) Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) today announced that Plymouth Rock Energy's new renewable energy certificate (REC) product, Plymouth Renewables, is now certified by Green-e® Energy. Plymouth Rock Energy joins the growing network of renewable energy providers that offer products certified by Green-e Energy, the nation's leading certification and verification program for renewable energy.

"We applaud Plymouth Rock Energy for offering renewable energy to its commercial customers," said Alex Pennock, Manager of Green-e Energy. "Through this product more organizations and businesses will discover the benefits of using clean, renewable energy in their operations."

Woodmere, N.Y.–based Plymouth Rock Energy is sourcing the renewable energy for its Plymouth Renewables product from renewable energy facilities located in the U.S. and offering it to its commercial customers in the Northeast. These customers will support currently available renewable resources and growth of the program will aid in the development of new renewable resources in North America.

"We're proud to offer customers the opportunity to purchase Green-e certified renewable energy" said Adam Sokol, President of Plymouth Rock Energy. "This allows us to offer credible solutions to help address today's energy and climate challenges and it's a great program for us to expand our green initiatives."

Providers of Green-e Energy Certified renewable energy agree to abide by the Green-e Energy Code of Conduct, and meet strict disclosure and truth-in-advertising requirements. All marketers of Green-e Energy Certified products undergo an annual third-party verification audit to document that the company purchased or generated enough quantity and type of renewable energy to meet customer demand and marketing claims.
