HOUSTON, Sept. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ENGIE North America will help the upcoming Smart Energy Decisions' Renewable Energy Sourcing Forum walk its own talk by offsetting the event's entire three days' worth of energy consumption from nonrenewable sources with Green-e® eligible renewable energy certificates (RECs).  ENGIE will supply and donate the RECs from ENGIE's new 276 MW Solomon Forks Wind Project for this September 16-18 event in Ponte Vedra, Florida.

The announcement marks the fourth Smart Energy Decisions conference ENGIE North America has supported with RECs, further illustrating the energy leader's commitment to promoting sustainable strategies. The RECs supplied for this event represent the environmental attributes or benefits associated with a specific quantity of renewable energy generated by the Solomon Forks Wind Project.

We are proud to demonstrate our ability to provide customers with a wide range of renewable products that support a carbon-free, sustainable future."
