HOUSTON, Sept. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ENGIE North America will help the upcoming Smart Energy Decisions' Renewable Energy Sourcing Forum walk its own talk by offsetting the event's entire three days' worth of energy consumption from nonrenewable sources with Green-e® eligible renewable energy certificates (RECs). ENGIE will supply and donate the RECs from ENGIE's new 276 MW Solomon Forks Wind Project for this September 16-18 event in Ponte Vedra, Florida.
