The Easiest Way for Small Businesses to Use Sustainable Electricity
Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy. They create local jobs, support communities, and drive innovation across every industry. But in today’s world, there’s something else they can do that’s just as important – go green.
More and more small businesses across America are prioritizing sustainability and “going green.”
Small businesses are the ones helping drive the trend, pushing the message forward, and influencing the broader shift toward environmental responsibility. Their leadership is making it more critical than ever for businesses of all sizes to take sustainable action.
But here’s the challenge:
Going green often sounds expensive – think installing solar panels, upgrading equipment, or making major facility changes. For many small businesses, such investments are simply not practical at this time.
Luckily, there’s good news.
There are easier, faster, and far more affordable ways to become a sustainable business, without the big upfront costs. In this article, I’ll show you the easiest way for small businesses to use sustainable electricity by sharing three simple strategies any small business can start using right now to go 100% green.
For many small businesses, going green is about more than just profits—it’s about principles. It’s a way to stand for something: protecting the planet, supporting the community, and building a business that reflects their values. And as a bonus? Customers notice. A commitment to sustainability not only feels good, it also helps your business grow.
Customers today care more than ever about where their money goes and who they support.

So, what are the easiest ways for small businesses to use sustainable electricity, without a huge investment?
You don’t need to install solar panels or redesign your building to run your business on clean energy. Here are three cost-effective and straightforward ways to make your electricity sustainable, starting now:
RECs (Renewable Energy Credits) allow you to offset your electricity usage by purchasing certified green energy produced elsewhere, like from a wind or solar farm. It’s an easy and affordable way to support clean energy and claim 100% green electricity usage, even if your actual power comes from the grid.
If you’re in a deregulated energy market, you have the power to choose where your electricity comes from. That means you can switch to a supplier that generates electricity from solar, wind, or hydro power, without changing your operations or equipment. It’s a simple change that can make a big difference, and often even reduce your electricity bill.
Many local solar farms and community solar programs allow businesses to subscribe and support local green energy production. You don’t need to install anything yourself, just connect through the program and support clean, local electricity. In some cases, this can even lower your energy costs while helping fund the growth of renewable infrastructure in your community.
At Energy Professionals, we specialize in helping businesses—big and small—become more energy-efficient and sustainable without incurring high upfront costs.
Whether it’s sourcing your power from clean energy, purchasing RECs, or connecting to a local solar farm, we’ll help you make the right choice for your business and the planet.
