About Renewable Energy

Renewable energy comes from resources that, unlike fossil fuels, are not finite. These resources include wind, solar, hydropower, biomass, and fuel cells.

Currently, when you flip on a light, almost all of the electricity that comes into your home or business is generated by coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear or large scale hydropower.

As part of our commitment to reduce climate change, CET is active in promoting renewable energy options, information and resources.
