Abstract
The present invention describes a method for encouraging the production and use of electricity from renewable energy sources. A clearing house is established for facilitating various agreements and contracts between green power generators, electricity utilities and electricity end users. A computer model would be employed to help produce fixed costs or essentially fixed costs contracts between the green power generators, the electricity utilities and the electricity end users. Additionally, renewable energy certificates can be bought and sold to either maximize profits or reduce the costs of the electricity.
