GREEN ENERGY

According to Environment Canada, "Green power" is most commonly defined, world-wide, as renewable low-impact electricity, that is, electricity from renewable energy sources having low adverse environmental impact relative to conventional large-reservoir hydroelectricity and relative to non-renewable forms of electricity.

Sources of green power are wind, hydro (typically run-of-the-river), solar, tidal, geothermal, biogas-fuelled and biomass-fuelled power sources, where the sources meet Environment Canada's Environmental Choice ProgramM (ECP) criteria for environmental performance."

OPEG will apply for EcoLogoTM certification for green generating facilities.
