I'm not really seeing anything on their site that says every new customer's kW-h usage translates directly to new kW-h sources being built. They do say:
"For every unit of electricity you use, we put a unit on the grid produced by a renewable source like solar or wind. "
But that's only talking about generation from their existing resources - not the building of new resources. In fact they go on to say that they're only purchasing energy from renewable sources to one-to-one match their customers use. Bulb is just a reseller like any other.
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoLooks like Bulb just got bought by Green Mountain Energy anyway: https://www.greenmountainenergy.com/home-energy-solutions/solar-plan https://www.greenmountainenergy.com/home-energy-solutions/so... They also seem to go beyond the bare minimum and have more information. I thought the Bulb site was implying they bought bundled RECS, i.e. they paid local Texas renewable developers for both their energy output and the REC at the same time. Which is better than buying unbundled RECs.
