Here’s how Clean Energy Match, a feature of Nest Renew Premium, can help you play a part in the fight against climate change, right from your home.¹

Did you know that the majority of electricity that powers homes across the US is generated from fossil fuels?

To address climate change we need to transition to clean energy sources like wind and solar.

And now with Clean Energy Match, a Nest Renew Premium feature, you can help support this transition to a clean energy future right from your home.

For $10 a month, Clean Energy Match can match the fossil fuel electricity used in your home with enough clean energy to cover the average U.S. household. This is done with purchases of renewable energy credits (RECs) from U.S. wind and solar.²

So what exactly is a REC?
For every unit of power a renewable energy plant produces, it also creates a REC as proof that energy was made from a renewable source.

The more that people join Nest Renew Premium, the more RECs we will purchase for Clean Energy Match. And this growing demand can help in encouraging the development of solar and wind energy projects. You can learn even more about RECs here: http://g.co/nest/ecred

And while this may sound a little complicated, when you join Nest Renew Premium, Google handles all the behind-the-scenes stuff for you.

So you can rest easy knowing that every time you use electricity in your home, -- whether it is turning on the lights, running the washing machine, or watching TV -- with Clean Energy Match you are supporting a cleaner planet for everyone.
