Nest Renew Doesn’t Provide Electricity
Nest Renew Premium is a paid service to help you support clean energy. Through Nest Renew Premium, Google may purchase renewable energy credits (RECs) on your behalf. We don’t generate, sell, or supply energy or electricity. Enrolling in Nest Renew Premium doesn’t change your electric utility provider. Enrolling in Nest Renew Premium also doesn’t affect the energy that your electric utility provider buys to power your home.Utility Relationship and Billing
Utility Relationship. Google does not replace your utility or pay your utility bill. You remain responsible for paying your utility bill and monitoring and responding to communications from your utility provider.Disclaimer of Utility Liabilities. Google isn’t a party to any transaction between you and your electric utility provider. Your relationship with your electric utility provider is governed by the terms of that relationship and isn’t affected by these Terms or our provision of the Nest Renew Premium services. To the extent allowed by applicable law, Google isn’t liable for damages of any type (including direct and indirect damages) arising under or in connection with the supply, transmission, or distribution of electricity, including power outages or surges.
Clean Energy Match
Overview. We may purchase renewable energy credits (RECs) to match your home with enough clean energy to cover the fossil-fuel electricity use of the average US household. We refer to this as your “Clean Energy Match.” A “renewable energy credit” or “REC” is a certificate representing the environmental benefits from one megawatt hour of renewable electricity generation, and it is separate from the electricity itself. Clean Energy Match is a REC product and does not contain (or provide you with) electricity.Details; Changes. You can find a detailed explanation of RECs and our methodology for providing your Clean Energy Match at g.co/nest/ecred. We reserve the right to make changes to this methodology at any time without notice to you.
Estimates Not Guaranteed to Be Accurate. We try to accurately estimate the fossil fuel-generated electricity consumed by the average US household, but our estimates are only estimates. These estimates are based on the average US household and will vary from the actual amount of fossil fuel-generated electricity consumed at your home.
REC Retirement. RECs serve as a tool for keeping track of which person (or entity) can take credit for the environmental benefits from renewable electricity generation. When a REC is “retired” on behalf of a person in a tracking system (like the North American Renewables Registry, for example), the environmental benefits represented by that REC are granted to that person permanently, so other people can’t take credit for them. You agree that we may retire RECs on your behalf, either by retiring RECs in your name or in Google’s name on your behalf. In either case, you – not Google – will have the right to take credit for the environmental benefits of RECs that are retired on your behalf.
