Hello, Our building is pursuing for LEED EBOM 2009 vertification and we procure all of our electricity (no natural gas or other fuel type is consumed in our building) from a renewable energy provider (wind energy) which has a renewable energy source (RES) certificate according to our national government's certification scheme. The building is in Turkey, far away from US and there's no presence of Green-e certification here. Plus, no energy provider heard or knows about Green-e standard! Therefore, I don't know how the equivalency to Green-e can be provided. Does it work if I go with "Special Circumstances ..." option and try to explain with the supporting documentation (formal renewable energy source certificate of our government, contract for 2 years, invoices, etc.) that we do not have Green-e in our country and is not possible to show equivalency? Would it be reasonable for earning this credit? Our government has its own rules and regulations in order to certify an energy provider as a renewable energy source utility but there's no dirct or indirect link with Green-e. Thanks.
