green energy
Sustainable electricity source
Green energy is power generated from renewable, non-polluting sources—solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal.
The term emphasizes environmental benefit over fossil fuels: The company committed to powering all operations with green energy by 2030.
Green energy and clean energy are often used interchangeably, though clean energy may include nuclear power, which green typically excludes.
