Each REC represents the environmental attributes of, or benefits associated with, a specific quantity of energy generated from a U.S.-based renewable source, such as solar or wind.
METRO is a member of the Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Partnership. This partnership program encourages over 1,500 member organizations to reduce both the environmental impacts associated with conventional electricity and the risk of climate change through the use of green power programs and REC products.

The contract also includes a feasibility study to evaluate the Authority's possible participation in ERCOT's Emergency Response Service (ERS-30). ERS-30 is a demand response program in which consumers agree to curtail their usage during periods of peak demand in order to help alleviate stress on the electricity grid.
Additionally, GDF SUEZ will donate to the METRO 'See the Ligh' energy toolkit, a program designed to engage the Authority's employees in a continuing mission to reduce energy waste and cut electricity consumption while building a sustainable culture of conservation.
