Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Renewable Energy

By Steve Carter, CPA, Audit Partner
ASL Renewable Energy Group

The focus on transitioning the nation’s energy needs from existing to renewable sources is the shared mission and passion of most renewable energy companies.

Green-e Energy National Standard Updates

By Patrick Ngai, CPA, Audit Manager
ASL Renewable Energy Group

Started in 1997, Center for Resource Solution’s (CRS) Green-e Energy Program has become one of the nation’s largest certification programs for the Green Power market today.
