Blue Sky Business Partnership Program

To raise awareness and encourage the purchase of clean energy, we offer a business partnership program to recognize organizations that have made a significant commitment to renewable power through Blue Sky.

Depending on your average monthly electricity usage and renewable power purchase commitment, we can recognize your business through press announcements and identify your business in our renewable power promotional materials, which may include paid advertising. See the chart below with a listing of the recognition items.

A minimum purchase level and a one-year commitment are required to participate in our business partnership program. See chart below.

Partnership levels

Recognition category	Percentage/minimum requirement	Maximum requirement*
Visionary	30% of load or 50 blocks, whichever is greater	750 blocks/month
Champion	10% of load or 10 blocks, whichever is greater	350 blocks/month
Supporter	Under 10,000 kilowatt-hours (kwh) Over 10,000 kwh	4 blocks/month 7 blocks/month
Luminary (Oregon small businesses only)	100% of usage via the Oregon Usage or Habitat option	100%

Examples:

Business A has an average monthly usage of 250,000 kwh and wants to be a Blue Sky Champion partner. Ten percent of load is 25,000 kwh, or 250 blocks, to reach that category.
Business B has an average monthly usage of 500,000 kwh and wants to be a Blue Sky Visionary partner. Thirty percent of load is 150,000 kwh, or 1,500 blocks. However, the company only needs to buy 750 blocks, the maximum required to join as a Visionary partner.
Business C has an average monthly usage of 15,000 kwh and aims to be a Blue Sky Visionary partner. Thirty percent of load is 4,500 kwh, or 45 blocks. However, the company needs to purchase 50 blocks, since that amount is greater.
Business D has an average monthly usage of 15,000 kwh and wants to be a Blue Sky Supporter. They need to purchase 7 blocks per month.
Business E is an Oregon small business with an average monthly usage of 1,300 kwh and wants to be a Blue Sky Luminary, they need to sign up for Blue Sky Usage of Habitat purchasing 100 percent of their usage as renewable energy.
