The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory named GreenUp, National Grid’s renewable energy program, to its top 10 ranking of utility green power programs, the company announced today.
The energy department develops “Top 10” rankings of utility programs in categories including total sales of renewable energy to participants and total number of customer participants based on information the companies provide. GreenUp ranked as sixth in both categories out of nearly 130 programs in 34 states, the energy lab said.

Almost 15,000 customers from National Grid utilities Narragansett Electric, Niagara Mohawk and Massachusetts Electric purchased more that 88 million kilowatt-hours of renewable energy through GreenUp in 2004, the company said.
“National Grid is pleased to offer our customers the option of supporting renewable energy and we are grateful to them for making GreenUp such a success,” said Michael Jesanis, the company’s president and chief executive officer. “GreenUp’s success also comes from the foresight of state energy policy-makers in New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island as well as the collaboration between National Grid and the program’s participating renewable energy providers.”
