Announcing Bee Better Certified Electric: Launching Pilot Testing

The purpose of Bee Better Certified Electric is to provide a nationally consistent, third-party verifiable, and scientifically informed criteria for power companies seeking a voluntary program to support pollinators. Developed over multiple years with Xerces Society and balancing input from scientists and industry, the program can guide land managers in efforts to protect pollinators and, if appropriate, receive formal certification. Our new report includes the Pilot Test Version of the criteria that third-party verifiers will use to assess sites during pilot testing, provides the scientific rational for the criteria, and describes the goals of the pilot testing period anticipated from 2024 to 2026.
