Bullfrog Power Green Energy Audits
Green electricity and green natural gas are unusual products. As such, they may seem difficult to evaluate. How can you, as a customer, be sure that green energy is genuinely being generated on your behalf? What measures are in place to ensure that the energy is injected onto the respective electricity or natural gas system? And, is there any risk that the environmental benefits (such as carbon emission reductions) are being "double-counted", i.e., that someone else is taking credit for that green energy?
Your safeguard is a green energy audit. Bullfrog Power's green energy products are based on a legally binding contract under which a provider is obligated to retire green energy attributes on behalf of its customers. An audit is the proof customers have that their green energy provider meets its commitments.
Bullfrog pioneered the concept of an annual audit for green electricity retailers when it launched in 2005. Bullfrog will undertake to deliver an annual green natural gas audit for the new green natural gas offering.
You can download all of the audits, which have been undertaken by a national accounting firm, for each year we've been providing the respective products below.

As Bullfrog Power just began providing green natural gas in March 2011, we will post our first green natural gas audit in 2012 for the 2011 year. The audit criteria have been established by ICF International, a global consulting firm that specializes in environmental issues.
